Izmir Historical Sites

The excavations at Bayrakli have unearthed a temple dedicated to Athena and the wall of the Ionian City which flourished here between the seventh and fifth centuries B.C. Pottery dating to the third millennium B.C. has also been uncovered.

On Kadifekale, Mt. Pagos, stands the impressive ruins of a castle and its walls, built by Lysimachus in the reign of Alexander the Great, which still dominate Izmir today. The castle offers an excellent vantage point to enjoy the magnificent view over the Gulf of Izmir.

The Agora, or marketplace, in the Namazgah Quarter was originally constructed during the rule of Alexander the Great. What remains today, however, dates from the rebuilding under Marcus Aurelius after a devastating earthquake in 178 A.D.

Museums in Izmir

The Archeological Museum, near Konak Square, houses a superb collection of antiquities including the statues of Poseidon and Demeter which, in ancient times, stood in the Agora.

Neighboring the Archeological Museum, the collection of the Ethnographical Museum contains folkloric artifacts, among which are a fine collection of Bergama and G6rdes carpets, traditional costumes and camel bridles.
