Zafer Museum
The museum building was built by Armenian masters as a two-storey masonry building in 1913-1914 by Mayor Esbabzade Hüseyin Tevfik Efendi to be used as a municipal service building together with the Government Mansion. The building has three doors: east, west and south. The number of lower and upper windows are equal. The lower floor windows are flat, the upper floor windows have pointed arches, and the window edges and corners are made of protruding cut stone. There are ten rooms, a meeting hall and stage on the ground floor, and eight rooms, an entrance and a large hall on the upper floor.
After Afyon was liberated from enemy occupation on 27 August 1922, the town hall was used as the Western Front headquarters building by Commander-in-Chief Mustafa Kemal Pasha, Western Front Commander İsmet İnönü, Chief of General Staff Fevzi Çakmak Pasha and Western Front Operations Branch Manager Tevfik Bıyıklıoğlu, and Commander-in-Chief Square was used as the headquarters building of the Western Front. The battle was planned here. The building is of great importance in this respect. The building, which was vacated when the new municipality building was built in 1935, was used for different purposes until 1985, and in 1985 it was transferred to the Commander-in-Chief Historical National Park Directorate to build the Victory Museum.
The museum contains information about the War of Independence, photographs, topographic maps, panels, documents, materials used in the war such as weapons, defense wires, cans, and 213 artifacts, including silver scissors specially made for the opening of the Victory Monument. The rooms where Atatürk, İsmet İnönü, Fevzi Çakmak, Tevfik Bıyıkoğlu and other commanders stayed were also reorganized and started to serve in 1995.
