Folkart Towers is a mixed-use skyscraper complex consisting in two twin towers located in the Bayraklı district of the Turkish city of İzmir. Reaching a structural height of 200 m (656 ft) with 47 floors above ground level each, they were the tallest buildings in İzmir between 2014 and 2017, until the completion of the 48-floor (216 m (709 ft)) Mistral Office Tower.[5]

The construction of the towers began in 2011[4] and in April 2013, they surpassed Hilton İzmir to become the tallest buildings in the city.[5] The construction works were completed in 2014.[4] During their construction, 1000 people were employed, and upon completion, they were expected to be the place of residence or work for 4000 people.[3] In February 2015, the largest art gallery in Turkey was opened in the towers. The gallery has an area of 800 m^2.[6]
