HITORICAL ELEVATOR BUILDING

 

 The historical Elevator was built by Nessim Levy, a Jewish businessman, in 1907 to over come the topographic barrier between the districts of Mithatpasa Street and Halil Rifat Pasa Street.

The Elevator is one of the artworks of the recent period to be seen in the city center. Giving its name to the district in which it is located, thanks to its location, the historical Elevator is the best structure to watch the view of Izmir. The upper promenade of the elevator boasts a cafe and a restaurant in which visitors can relax and get an unparalleled view of the Gulf of Izmir. Now operated with electricity, originally both elevators in the structure were water driven. The charming old street at the foot of the elevator is named after Dario Moreno, an international singer and a native of Izmir. There is also a statue of the famous artist at the end of the street and a cafe and a stylish restaurant.

The Elevator, whose similar ones can be found in a few countries offers a unique Izmir sight.

Todaiji Temple,Nara

 Special Thanks to Yuka for the nice card;
 Todaiji (東大寺, Tōdaiji, "Great Eastern Temple") is one of Japan's most famous and historically significant temples and a landmark of Nara. The temple was constructed in 752 as the head temple of all provincial Buddhist temples of Japan and grew so powerful that the capital was moved from Nara to Nagaoka in 784 in order to lower the temple's influence on government affairs.

Tula 2007
    The building of the People's House, which now houses the Young People's Theatre, is famous for being the place where the Soviet regime was proclaimed in Tula and the province on December 7, 1917. Much more interesting is the fate of the Church of the Prophet Elijah, which we see in the background of the old photo. The wooden church existed on this place as early as 1627. In 1755 a two-storey stone church was built. It was the Cathedral of Tula from 1924 to 1943. The building was taken away from the church for workshops. At present the church has been returned to the faithful.
