Its story
In the southern part of Kemeraltı, around Havra Sokağı, there are several historic synagogues close to one another. Etz Hayim is regarded as one of the oldest of these; its origins are thought to go back to the Byzantine period. The synagogues bear witness to the community life that the Sephardic Jews who came from Spain in 1492 built in İzmir. Some of the area's historic synagogues are opening to visitors as museum-synagogues after restoration.
