Selçuk Tarihi İstasyon Meydanı

About Selçuk Tarihi İstasyon Meydanı

Selçuk Historical Station Square is a public square and green space beside the town railway station, next to the remains of the Byzantine aqueduct that crosses the centre of Selçuk. The square dates back to 1863, when the İzmir to Aydın railway reached Ayasuluk, the old name of Selçuk, and the station came into use. In 2012 the area around the aqueduct arches was landscaped with lawns and event and exhibition spaces that can hold about 2,500 people. According to Visit İzmir, the square has 200 square metres of open-air exhibition space, a 330 square metre event area and 1,600 square metres of green space. It is a convenient place to pause on a walk through the town, and Selçuk is the southern end of the İZBAN suburban rail line from Aliağa through İzmir. The phone number given is that of Selçuk Municipality, which lists the square on Visit İzmir.
