Bornova, Urban district in İzmir, Turkey
Bornova extends across 220 square kilometers northeast of İzmir, incorporating residential zones, commercial districts, and educational institutions within its boundaries.
The district transformed from a small forestry settlement called Birunabad into a summer retreat for European consuls and merchants during the 19th century.
The district maintains numerous Levantine mansions from the Ottoman period, reflecting the architectural influences of European residents who settled in the area.
The eastern terminus of İzmir's subway system connects Bornova to the city center, while Ege University's campus serves over 42,000 students.
Bornova marked its place in Turkish sports history by hosting the Ottoman Empire's first football match in 1890 and Turkey's first athletic competition in 1895.
