HISTORICAL ELAVATOR
Another one of Izmir’s interesting places to visit is the Historical Elevator building. This
building, which also gave the district its name, was had built by a Jewish businessman named
Nesim Levi. The Elevator, which was built between Mithat Paşa Street and the 40-meter high
Şehit Nihat Bey Street, was built on an old quarry and put into service in 1907. The elevator
saves everyone from climbing the 155 steps between Mithat Paşa Street and Halil Rıfat Paşa
Street. The elevator tower consists of three floors. The elevator, which has remained intact to
this day, is now electrically driven.
It is one of the best places to view Izmir, and you will want to take photographs. The world-
renowned artist Dario Moreno used to live on the street where the Elevator is located and the
street was given his name. Every year on the 15 th of December a remembrance day is held on
the street. On this street, lined with magnolia trees, you can see cleverly engraved old Izmir
houses with their own bays.
There is a classy restaurant and café at the elevator, which can be reached from both Mithat
Paşa Street and Halil Rifat Paşa Street.
