There are landmarks that emerge in the historical development of cities and are identified with that city in people's minds. The antiquity of these landmarks, which goes deep into history, is not that important. Undoubtedly, the Clock Tower, which would be in the square in the middle of the civil and military institutions of Izmir, was desired to be the symbol of the modern face of the city.
However, Izmir, which was exalted in the forms of the Crown of Asia Minor, the Pearl of Ionia, Little Paris, etc., also had an Eastern face. In fact, Kervan Bridge had been the symbol of the that Eastern face for more than a hundred years. This study aims to trace the Kervan Bridge, which was the symbol of Izmir from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, based upon the works such as engravings, paintings, photographs, travel writings, stories, and poems, to the present day.
