Dünya Barış Anıtı

Story

Rising at a prime spot in Bayraklı, the World Peace Monument stands as a symbol of humanity's universal longing for peace, brought to İzmir. The monument is a work that embodies the message of hope and peace of a Turkey rebuilt after the Second World War. The geometric design of the structure, with its shaded sections, visually represents the interplay of peace and light, while its perspective opening toward the sea points to an endless horizon. Especially at sunset, the illuminated silhouette of the monument creates an unforgettable scene over the Bay of Alsancak. Having taken root in the memory of the local people, this monument is also one of the tangible traces of peace activism in Anatolia. During your visit, don't miss the experience of sitting near the monument and connecting the theme of peace with history as you gaze at the historic harbor of Konak.
