Asansor Elevator, Turkey
From series “Top 16 Most Exotic Elevators and Lifts in the World”Year: 1907.
The Turkish city of Izmir has the landmark lift - Asansör. The elevator is located in the city district of Konak and is one of the most striking urban sights. The history of the construction of this elevator, opened in 1907, is very interesting. The lift was built on the initiative of one of the rich local traders who wanted to connect the Karatash quarters with the summit of the hillside.
With the support of his friend banker, the dealer began the construction of a wonderful tower lift, with which he planned to transport the goods delivered by the ships. Although the Asansör elevator has long since lost its original meaning, it is still used today for the intended use. Most passengers of the lift are the tourists. On the hill top are many interesting tourist attractions.
