Fortifications of ancient Smyrna

Smyrna (modern day Izmir in the Republic of Turkey) was a port city on the Western coast of Ionia (Anatolia) that has been inhabited since antiquity, as far back as the 3rd millennium BCE. The city was once heavily fortified, and those fortifications were tested frequently during their existence and went through several iterations before the city was eventually moved to another location.
