Asansör in İzmir, Turkey, is a historical elevator that was built in 1907 by a Jewish businessman named Nesim Levi Bayraklıoğlu. It was constructed to connect the two parts of the hilly Karataş neighborhood, which are separated by a steep cliff. The elevator, which originally operated with a water-driven mechanism, provided easy access between the lower and upper sections of the area, significantly improving the daily lives of residents. Today, Asansör has been modernized, but it retains its historical charm and offers visitors a panoramic view of İzmir from its terrace.
