Located at the entrance of Fevzi Cakmak Avenue, the Aliotti (Michel Topuz) House was built in the 19th century by the Aliotti Family, one of Bornova's prominent Levantine families. The building later passed to the Topuz Family and has largely preserved its original Levantine architecture. Today it operates as a dental clinic.
Located on Bornova's historic Fevzi Çakmak Avenue at the entrance from Ankara Avenue, the Aliotti (Michel Topuz) House is an elegant example of 19th-century Levantine residential architecture.
The building was constructed by the Aliotti family, one of Italy's noble houses.
The Aliotti family settled on the island of Chios from Florence, Italy, in the late 17th century and moved to İzmir in 1822.
In Bornova and its environs, they were active in trade, olive-oil production and wine exportation.
Following the Aliotti family, the building began to be used in the mid-20th century by the Topuz family (Michel Topuz), one of Bornova's well-known Levantine families.
Apart from minor interior adjustments made by the Topuz family, the building has retained its original character.
Having passed from the Aliotti family to the Topuz family, the building has been in use as a dental clinic since 2025.
The building's restored façade represents one of the finest examples of Levantine residential heritage in Bornova adapted to the health and service sector.
The Aliotti (Michel Topuz) House reflects Bornova's multi-layered cultural fabric:
It is therefore one of the important architectural links along Bornova's Fevzi Çakmak Avenue Levantine Axis.
