Good to see you again. Today I tell you about Ottoman rule in Izmir.
In 1415 Mehmet I took Smyrna to Ottoman Empire. He changed the name to Izmir. At the reign of Sultan Suleiman, Europeans get permission to free trade and settlement at the city. The first Ottoman governor of Izmir was the son of the Bulgarian Shishman dynasty. During the reign of Mehmed III in Izmir were built the Hisar Mosque.
It has been constructed by Aydınoğlu Yakup Bey. After damage, the mosque was restored in 1813, 1881, 1927 and 1980.
I hope you like my post :)
See you soon!
