About Senin Mirasın

Senin Mirasın is a pilot project that aims to shed light on the place of cultural heritage within the historic layers of İzmir’s Historic City Centre, and to support the understanding of that heritage and a culture of conservation.

From sign to screen

Signs that share the identity of historic and cultural heritage carry a QR code. When you scan it, a film of about one minute about that place opens. The films describe the meaning, features and history of each place and were produced in Turkish and English.

History of the project

The project was launched in 2021 as a pilot for İzmir Metropolitan Municipality. The website, content, video editing and technical infrastructure were produced by Fazlanet Information Technologies. A mobile app for Android and iOS was also developed, recognising the signs through the camera and playing the related film inside the app.

A guide brought back to life

The signs still greet visitors around Kemeraltı, Basmane and Kadifekale. Senin Mirasın has been rebuilt as a fast, accessible, mobile-first digital culture guide, without changing any of the addresses the QR codes open. Explore the places from the list or on the map, and if you allow location access, see the ones closest to you.
