1. Konak Market
The name of Konak Square and Izmir's central neighborhood, Konak, derives from the mansion located here, which is today a government building and houses the governor's office. Voyvoda Mansion or Katipzade Mansion was built in the early 19th century and belonged to the Katipzade family. The present building is being reconstructed on the site of the former mansion according to the design of the original one.
Konak Square is a meeting place for tourists and locals. On the opposite flank of the mansion there is a fountain and the whole square is invaded by pigeons. In the middle of the square is the Clock Tower, the symbol of Izmir.
