İzmit, Capital district near Sea of Marmara, Turkey
The city extends along the Gulf of İzmit, surrounded by hills and industrial zones, with ancient ruins scattered throughout the urban landscape.
Emperor Diocletian selected Nicomedia, present-day İzmit, as the eastern capital of the Roman Empire between 286 and 324 AD during the Tetrarchy period.
The Clock Tower from 1901, Orhan Gazi Mosque, and Pertev Pasa Mosque represent different architectural periods of Ottoman and Turkish construction methods.
The D100 highway and railway station connect İzmit to Istanbul and Ankara, making it a central transportation hub for industrial and commercial activities.
The city produces approximately half of Turkey's paper supply and houses major petroleum refineries along its coastal industrial complexes.
