İzmir, which hosts many different cultures successfully for many years, today shares the legacy of the richness of these cultures with its own people and visitors, which is one of the most typical examples of this type of heritage. Jewish citizens have a special place in Izmir. The Jewish citizens, which are at the forefront of all kinds of activities of the city, are also important in the economic life of a port and trade city of Izmir. Many families still exist. The story of the elevator starts from such a family. The construction of the Izmir Historical Elevator, which was based on the connection of two streets connected with the stairs due to the height difference between each other, was built in 1907. In the past, the coastline and Halil Rifat Pasha district were separated from the past due to the physical characteristics of the city during the development of the city. The people of Izmir were named as Karataş Stairs for the elimination of this separation. The stepping stone which was seen as the main reason for using the quarry from the depths of history was the same as the name of the family sitting at the point where the stairs started. With the restorations of 1985 and 1993 and Dario Moreno street reinforcement today, İzmir Historical Elevator maintains the same function and attracts the attention with its characteristic character. I wouldn't go to Izmir without leaving the elevator. Seeing such an interesting structure and watching the Aegean from above, Izmir will be an important achievement for your trip.
