İzmir is a city that has hosted so many people from different religions and races throughout in its history. However, it has experienced many disasters throughout its long history, especially struck by fires. In 1922, a fire starts in the Basmane district of Izmir, one of the places that burned is the Surp Krikor Lusavoriç Armenian Hospital. The land of the hospital which was destroyed in the fire, is empty and unused today. The land is known by names such as “pit of shame”, “pit of Basmane”, “ÇukurHattan”. This land next to Kültürpark was used as Izmir bus station for a while, but left empty when the bus station was moved. The documentary named “Smyrna’s Pit” is about a journey to the past of Izmir, based on this land.
