The restoration of the ancient city of Phokaia's bulwarks, which started in 2009, is continuing in the Foça district of the western province of İzmir."We have found remnants from different ages and different civilizations such as the Roman, Byzantine, Genoese and Ottoman Empires," said Ege University Professor of Architecture Ömer Özyiğit, who is heading the restoration project.
"At the end of this restoration project, the antique city of Phokaia will rise again in Foça, faithful to its history," he added.
