Historical Coal Gas Factory

The Historical Coal Gas Factory contains multiple industrial sections including a foundry, engine room, administration building, meter room, material warehouse, and water treatment facilities.

Constructed in 1864, this industrial complex manufactured coal gas for Izmir until 1955, marking nearly a century of energy production for the growing Turkish city.

Following extensive renovations completed in 2008, the former industrial site now functions as a center for exhibitions, performances, and community gatherings in Izmir.

The facility provides parking spaces for 122 vehicles and maintains wireless internet access throughout the premises for visitors attending cultural events.

Each structure within the complex retains its original 19th-century industrial architecture, presenting an educational view into the mechanics of historical gas production.
