Explore the Pages of Time at Çeşme Museum, İzmir's Historic Treasure!
Çeşme Castle, originally built by Genoese traders in the 15th century and later expanded by Sultan Beyazıt II in 1508, is a significant historical structure in western Anatolia. Once abandoned, it was reopened as a museum in 1965 and now houses archaeological finds from the Bronze Age Bağlararası settlement and the ancient city of Erythrai. Visitors can explore amphoras recovered from the sea and learn about the 1770 Ottoman-Russian naval war. Erythrai, located nearby, was known for its red soil and millstone production, while Bağlararası uncovered Anatolia's oldest winery. Several parts of the castle are currently closed due to ongoing restoration.
