The regeneration of Hamamonu district became a priority for Ankara Cultural Tourism because of its historical interest and central location. Altındağ Municipality worked hard to restore the original charm of the district, attract inhabitants back and make it an interesting destination for tourists. Many buildings were reconstructed or completely rebuilt and several streets were pedestrianised. Since 2006, Hamamonu has seen restoration and expansion projects in 250 locations, including masjuds and mosques from the Seljuk era. An area of around 210 hectares was reconstructed and 33 sites were registered with the Cultural and Natural Heritage Preservation Board. Today, Hamamonu is a popular place for locals and tourists alike, its treasures and history unveiled for a new generation to enjoy.
