Etz Hayim Synagogue is located in Güzelyurt Quarter, İnkılap Street. This synagogue, which was thought to have existed since the Byzantine period when Jews first came to Izmir, was burned several times in Izmir fires and underwent renovations and lastly restored in 1851 by Daniel Sidi. The synagogue is not used today and is in ruins. Since the Etz Hayim synagogue was one of the old Sephardic synagogues, it was built with such a central plan that the tevya was located under four columns dividing the ceiling into nine rectangular pieces and the rows of seats surrounded this pattern. Today the structure has been transformed into a linear plan which is normally a church plan. The building is accessed through an entrance space. In this entrance space; there is a front synagogue to serve a small number of people for worship which will be held on a small platform with tevya and with rows of seats surrounding this tevya. The upper floor of the entrance space is the mehizah section.
