Its story
The Kuva-yi Milliye and Republic Monument is at the entrance to the city from the İzmir direction, in the Kayapınar neighborhood, west of the D 565 highway. The monument symbolizes the Kuva-yi Milliye (National Forces) units organized against the occupation in the Aegean in the first phase of the War of Independence, and the Republic founded afterwards. Unveiled in 2004, the monument serves as an entrance symbol welcoming those arriving in the city. Because of its roadside location, it can be visited as a short break and photo stop.
