Gebze Kocaeli, Walking Tour [4K]

Описание: Gebze (ancient names: Dakibyza and Libyssa) is a district of Kocaeli. It is one of the largest industrial cities of the Marmara Region.

The oldest known history of the Bitinya region, including Gebze, is XII. It dates back to the century. Kocaeli Peninsula, which is the most important gateway between Asia and the European continents, has become either a homeland of many nations or a place where they have come and passed, leaving traces of their civilization. The Phrygians made the first known nation migration in the early 12th century BC. The Phrygians, who came to the Peninsula through the Bosphorus, were scattered from here to Anatolia.

In the place where Gebze is today, there were settlements called Dakibyza and Libyssa during the period of Bithynia Kingdom under the reign of King Nicomedes I. between 281 and BC. The most important reason why these settlements are subject to research is that the famous Carthaginian commander Hannibal was settled here during the kingdom period. After Hannibal's defeat in the Zama War, he was not respected in his country and had to take refuge in the Bitinya Kingdom. Hannibal's tomb is located in the Gebze TÜBİTAK Campus. [4] Evliya Çelebi says that in his travel to Gebze in 1640, there were around 1000 old-style houses with garden and garden. [5]
