Asansör
Asansör ( Turkish for "elevator", derived from the French word ''ascenseur'') is a historical building in Ä°zmir's KarataÅŸ quarter, within the boundaries of the metropolitan district of Konak. It was built in 1907 as a work of public service by a wealthy Jewish banker and trader of that period, Nesim Levi BayraklıoÄŸlu, in order to ease passage from the narrow coastline of KarataÅŸ to the hillside, the elevator within the building serving to carry people and goods through the steep cliff between the two parts of the quarter. In time, the small street that led to the building also came to be known under the same name, Asansör Street (''Asansör Sokağı''). In the 1940s, one of the residents of the street was the singer DarÃo Moreno, who was to attain fame later. It was recently restored and since then, became one of the landmarks of Ä°zmir. The street was renamed DarÃo Moreno Street in memory of the singer. Asansor View from Dario Moreno Street Izmir Turkey.jpeg, View of ...
