Historical Elevator
The Karataş area of Izmir still owns many stairs and these were built between the two neighborhoods, Turks and Jews. At the top of the stairs lived the Devidas family, and below lived a merchant named Nesim Levi (Bayraklıoğlu). It is told that one day father Devidas fell on the stairs and broke his leg, his friend Nesim Levi came up with the idea of building an elevator similar to the ones he had seen in European cities. The elevator tower was built with bricks brought from Marseille. Its construction was completed in 1907. In 1992 the elevator was restored by the İzmir Metropolitan Municipality and then Historical Elevator has become an important tourist attraction and a cultural and recreational venue. Today it is operational and serves with a restaurant and a small observation balcony where you can see the entire Izmir Bay from the terrace.
