Kizlaragasi Han Bazaar
Kizlaragasi Han is the biggest and most magnificent of the inns in Izmir. It is still of great importance in the commercial life of Izmir as the only example among Ottoman inns in terms of its architectural characteristics. The inn, which is one of the rare Ottoman works in the city, was created in a square form and has a large rectangular courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard, which is approximately 530 square meters, the traditional mosque and fountain do not exist today. The rooms are lined up on the walls of the courtyard. Kizlaragasi Han is a long-distance inn, therefore it was built as two floors. The ground floor was the meeting point of merchants and brokers trading camels, cargo, and the upper floor was used as accommodation. The building, whose originality is controversial after the restoration, is of great importance in Izmir's commercial life.

Izmir Province
Izmir (Smyrna), which was moved from Bayrakli to today's Kadifekale and its outskirts after the Great Iskerder period, was built inside the fortification walls, which can still be considered largely intact today, starting from Kadifekale and almost no traces remain.
Kemeralti, on the other hand, appeared with the presence of a fortress built to defend the port entrance. Located at the mouth of the harbor and founded by the Byzantines in the 12th century, Izmir Harbor Castle was important both in terms of ensuring the security of the inner harbor and forming a key in the defense of the city. The castle, which is called by different names, was called ‘Neon Kastron’ or ‘Genoese Castle’ in foreign sources, and after it was captured by Christian communities, it was called ‘Castrum Smyrnarum’. This position, St. When Jean was transferred to his Knights, He started to be known with St. Petros Castle.

Kordonboyu
When Izmir is mentioned as a Kordon Boyu, the first thing that comes to mind is the azure sea on one side and various cozy cafes on the other. You can meet both your family and friends at the promenade for a coffee in the evening and sip your coffee against an extremely pleasant sea view. With the generality, the meeting point of Izmir locals is the Kordon. When determining the meeting point. it is one of the indispensable points of Young people, especially high school and university students. Especially on a warm spring day or a hot summer sunset, it is almost impossible to find a place on the grass at Kordon Length. People of Izmir understand the value of Izmir once again as the sun sets over Karsiyaka accompanied by a unique view of the Gulf of Izmir.

Tarihi Asansor
The elevator, which is one of the building blocks of the city's identity and gives its name to the district it is located in, is one of the most important historical centers of Izmir. The tower was built in 1907 by Nesim Levi, a businessman of the period, who donated his house for the construction of Karatas Hospital, in the area where the quarries are located.
The Elevator, which is connected by a 155-step staircase, is a street elevator that has been realized with the aim of facilitating transportation between the two axes by connecting the upper and lower parts of the district, Mithatpaşa Street and Şehit Nihat Bey Street, with the universal technology of the period.
