The ancient bazaar was named Kemeraltı due to an arched bridge built here in 1671 when Kemeraltı (Ahmet Aga) Mosque was also built.
The house was discovered in the 19th century by following the descriptions in the reported visions of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824), a Roman Catholic nun and visionary, which were published as a book by Clemens Brentano after her death.
The Agora was an open “place of assembly” in ancient Greek city-states. It is in the center of town and dates back to Alexander the Great when it was the marketplace of the city..
Asansör, which is an ancient elevator, was built in 1907. It works as a public service commissioned by a Jewish businessman called Nesim Levi. Today it continues to provide access for visitors to view the lovely panorama of the main tower and there are cafes and restaurants on the terrace. Highly recommended to make a break for rest, drink or eat.
