Alsancak, Commercial district in Konak, Turkey

The streets of Alsancak feature modern shops, residential buildings, and businesses along the waterfront area of Izmir's northern coast point.

Originally named Punta during the Ottoman period, the district received its current name Alsancak in 1925 following the establishment of the Turkish Republic.

The neighborhood contains multiple religious structures, including Saint John Anglican Church and Santissimo Rosario Church, representing different faith traditions.

The Alsancak Railway Station and numerous bus stops connect the district to other parts of Izmir, with the muhtar's office located on Kibris Sehitleri Street.

Former tobacco warehouses in the district have been transformed into the Izmir Architecture Center, preserving industrial heritage through adaptive reuse.
