An ancient theater in the western province of İzmir's Smyrna, currently being restored through dedicated excavation efforts, has the potential to become Türkiye's own iconic Colosseum once fully uncovered.

A 5.9 magnitude earthquake jolted the eastern province of Malatya on Oct. 16, sending tremors through several nearby regions but no significant damage was reported.

Excavations have resumed at the 20,000-person Smyrna Theater, located on the outskirts of Kadifekale in the western province of İzmir's Konak district.

Archaeological excavations carried out in the ancient city of Smyrna in İzmir have unearthed figures and objects with Egyptian civilization influences.

In a study on active fault lines in the northwestern province of Bursa, a previously unknown fault line was discovered, which could cause a 7.3-magnitude earthquake.

The strengthening works are ongoing uninterruptedly in Türkiye's prominent Hatay Archaeology Museum, which sustained damage during the deadly earthquakes that jolted the country's southeast in early February last year.

A 4.6 magnitude earthquake rattled the eastern province of Malatya one day after another moderate-scale tremor, the country's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) has announced.

The earthquake occurred at 12:34 p.m. on Dec. 28, with its epicenter situated in the Yeşilyurt district, reaching a depth of 17 kilometers, AFAD said in a written statement.

As a 4.1 magnitude earthquake has rattled the Marmara region, a renowned seismologist has alluded to the accumulating energy within the Marmara seismic system, notably referencing the looming large-scale Istanbul earthquake.

A 5.1 magnitude earthquake in the Marmara Sea rattled several northwestern provinces, including Istanbul and Bursa, the country's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) has announced.

Amid the ongoing archaeological excavations to uncover Smyrna Agora and Smyrna Theater on an area between İzmir's Kadifekale and Kemeraltı districts, the traces from Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine periods, as well as various principalities and the Ottoman era, have come to light so far.
