Folkart Towers are twin skyscrapers in the Bayraklı district of the Turkish city of İzmir. Reaching a structural height of 200 m (656 ft) above ground level, they are the tallest buildings in İzmir and, upon their completion, they were the 5th tallest twin towers in Europe.[4]
The construction of the towers began in 2011[3] and in April 2013, they surpassed Hilton İzmir to become the tallest buildings in İzmir.[4] The construction works were completed in 2014.[3] During their construction, 1000 people were employed, and upon completion, they were expected to be the place of residence or work for 4000 people.[2] In February 2015, the largest art gallery in Turkey was opened in the towers. The gallery has an area of 800 m2.[5]
