The Wall



There are some models of historical buildings on this wall with its description. I think good things for remember to history about city. Maybe we would be understood very small remains since 2500 years. İzmit city was completly destroyed by earthquekes many times in the history.
Recently on a road tunnel excavation was find out the archeological foundings the 15 meters down the earth.
Old name of my city ''Nicomedia'' was established by the king Nicomedes of the Bithinia kingdom.
