As legend has it, Alexander the Great took a nap under a tree on Mt. Kadifekale and dreamt that two pagan gods counseled him to move the city of Izmir (then Smyrna) to this elevated perch. During his reign in the 4th century BC, his general Lysimachus fulfilled the prophecy in part by building a castle on the hill. Restored several times over the years—by Byzantines, Seljuks, Ottomans, and now modern archeologists—the structure has five towers and solid stone walls. Go to the ramparts for the best view of the city and beyond.
