Canakkale Canakkale is a city in northwestern Turkey in the Marmara region, on the Dardanelles Strait. It’s a gateway to the Gallipoli WWI battlefields, north of the narrow strait. On the grounds of the 15th-century Cimenlik Castle, Canakkale Naval Museum Command contains historical artillery. The archaeological site at Troy, including an ancient theater, is southwest of the city. Canakkale is the eternal resting place of honorable soldiers who lost their lives on the Gallipoli campaign. Gallipoli Peninsula National Park (Gelibolu Yar?madas? Milli Park?) was established to immortalize the soldiers who lost their lives in this region during the Canakkale Campaign.
