“Né à #Izmir (Turquie) en 1929 et fils d’un banquier ottoman dont la famille est naturalisée en 1932, Édouard #Balladur est un pur produit de la technocratie républicaine. Passé par l’École nationale d’administration (ENA) et le Conseil d’État, lorsqu’il entre au cabinet de Georges #Pompidou en 1964, Balladur incarne cette élite modernisatrice qui domine alors et qui fascinait tant celui qui est devenu président en 1969.”

Yellow Barracks
Yellow Barracks, a significant historical structure in Izmir, was constructed between 1827-1829 as the first public building reflecting westernization, accommodating about six thousand soldiers. Positioned at Konak Ataturk Square, it showcased Neoclassical architecture and served as a symbol of the Ottoman Empire's grandeur. Despite its historical importance, including witnessing key events in the city's history, it faced repeated repairs due to flooding and was ultimately demolished in 1955 as part of a new zoning plan. The barracks were notable for their U shape and were built using stones from Kadifekale, embodying modernization efforts initiated by Mahmud II with the abolishment of the Janissary Corps.

St. Jean Theologos School Building
The Saint Jean Theologos School, located in the courtyard of the Upper Aya Yani Church, was opened under the Evangelical Greek School.It is learned from the sources that the Greek Patriarchate applied for the reconstruction of the school by expanding it due to the ruined condition of the school. According to the application, half of the cost, which was thirty thousand kurus, would be covered by the church fund, and the remaining half from the Evangelical School's current money. The construction license was issued on June 3, 1903. After the school collapsed, Nikoli Paskaladi's house in the same courtyard was purchased and a new single-storey stone building was built on the foundations of these two buildings and a recess room for teachers was built in the courtyard. In 1920, there were 237 students in 4 classes in the coeducational school.

Smyrna Stadium
Smyrna Stadium, located on the southwest slope under Kadifekale, was historically significant as an arena for gladiatorial contests and a site for religious, state ceremonies, and political meetings. Initially noted by French traveller Tournefort in 1702, it had mostly disappeared, leaving only traces. The stadium also served darker purposes; prisoners were punished there during festivities, and it was the execution site of St. Polycarp, a Christian leader, around 155 CE. Gladiatorial events were central to Smyrna's Roman culture, with evidence of gladiator schools and popular spectacles involving fights against wild animals documented in the 3rd century.

Cave of Seven Sleepers
The story of the Seven Sleepers has been known in Anatolia for centuries and its included in religious scriptures. The seven young Christians living in the reign of Emperor Decius escaped from the city and hid in a cave here, as they did not want to present a sacrifice in the Emperor Temple. They fell asleep for 200 years in this cave near the foothills of Panayır Mountains. Upon waking up at the time of Theodosius II they learned that the official religion was Christianity. The seven young Christians later buried there hence this miraculous event.

Ephesus (Ancient Greek: Ἔφεσος; Turkish: Efes; possibly from Hittite Apāša) was an ancient city located in Ionia, near present-day Selçuk in İzmir Province, Turkey. Founded by Attic and Ionian Greeks in the 10th century BC on the site of Apasa, it later became part of the Roman Republic in 129 BC. Ephesus was renowned for its Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, as well as the Library of Celsus and a large theatre. The city played an important role in early Christianity and hosted significant councils. After destruction by the Goths in 263 and gradual decline due to harbour silting, Ephesus was partially ruined by an earthquake in 614. Today, its ruins are a major tourist attraction and were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.

Claros Greek: Κλάρος, Klaros; Latin: Clarus) was an ancient Greek sanctuary on the coast of Ionia. It contained a temple and oracle of Apollo, honored here as Apollo Clarius. It was located in the territory of Colophon, which lay twelve kilometers to the north, one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League. The coastal city Notion lay two kilometers to the south. The ruins of the sanctuary are now found north of the modern town Ahmetbeyli in the Menderes district of İzmir Province, Turkey.
The Temple of Apollo at Claros was a very important center of prophecy, as in Delphi and Didyma. The oldest literary information about this sacred site goes back to the sixth and seventh centuries BC, through the Homeric Hymns, though Proto-Geometric pottery at the site betokens 9th century occupation. A sacred cave near the Temple of Apollo, which was an important place both in the Hellenistic and Roman eras, points to the existence of a Cybele cult in early periods here. Games called the Claria were held at Claros every fifth year in honor of Apollo.

Agora of Smyrna
The Agora is an open-air museum in which you can admire the remains of the ancient city of Smyrna. The ancient agora, which dated back to the 4th century BC, was destroyed by an earthquake in 178 BC but was quickly rebuilt by the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. In the current museum you can see the water channels built by the Romans, which are still in operation.A large part of the site is closed to the public because excavations and restorations are still in progress, but it is still worth going there, if only to take a walk on the floor below the level of the old basilica.
