Konak Square

The main square features a central clock tower surrounded by administrative buildings, local vendors, and meeting spots for both residents and visitors.

The 1901 clock tower stands as a symbol of Ottoman heritage, gifted by Kaiser Wilhelm II to commemorate Sultan Abdülhamid II's 25th year of reign.

The square incorporates the Yali Mosque from 1755 and connects to Kemeralti Market, where merchants display traditional Turkish goods and crafts.

Public transportation hubs, government offices, and the central bus station make this location a primary connection point for moving through Izmir.

The square maintains its role as an administrative center with the Governor's Mansion, while pigeons gather around the clock tower throughout the day.
