Republic Tree Monument (Cumhuriyet Ağacı Heykeli), Gündoğdu Square

Highlight • Monument

Gündoğdu Square (Turkish: Gündoğdu Meydanı) is a city square in Izmir. It lies between the districts of Alsancak and Konak and marks the center of the Kordon Esplanade. In the middle of the square is the statue of the 'Tree of the Republic' (Turkish: Cumhuriyet Ağacı Heykeli) to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey.

Gündoğdu Square is one of the city's new main squares. It was built along with the Kordon Esplanade in 2000. Originally, the Esplanade was built with the intention of extending a 6-lane highway from Liman Avenue to the center of Konak, where it would continue on to the O-32 to Çeşme in Balçova. This plan was strongly opposed by many and later turned into a park. The construction of the park and the square was completed in 1999 and officially opened to the public on June 15, 2000.

In 2003, Mayor Ahmet Piriştina asked for a statue to be built to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the republic. Ferit Özşen was chosen to design a statue that was named the Tree of the Republic. Since the square was opened, it has been used for many political rallies by prime ministers and party leaders, as well as for political protests such as the 2007 Republic Protests. Similar to Taksim Square in Istanbul, Gündoğdu Square is the main meeting place in Izmir, especially for the annual demonstrations in May.

Statue of St John at St John’s Cathedral (Izmir)

Highlight • Monument

It was locked. One explanation was due to earthquake damage, the corona pandemic the other. What is true? I dont know. But it should be accessible. I lacked the access and maybe also the persistence.

The church itself is described on Wikipedia.
