EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historical significance of Kadifekale, also known as Mount Pagos, in Izmir, Turkey. This site holds great importance as it is believed to be the place where Saint Polycarp, the Bishop of Smyrna, was martyred and buried.
The monument standing tall on Mount Pagos serves as a tribute to the life and sacrifice of St. Polycarp, who played a significant role in early Christian history. The intricate details of the monument reflect the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city.
As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel the weight of centuries past that have shaped this sacred place. The Ottoman Empire's influence is evident in every stone and carving that adorns this burial site.
Izmir (formerly Smyrna) has long been a melting pot of cultures and civilizations, with each leaving its mark on sites like Kadifekale. The lush greenery surrounding the mount adds to its mystique and allure.
