The ‘Rempelio of Smyrna’ or ‘Rempelio of the Janissaries’ or ‘Great Rempelio’ was one of the most violent events that happened during the co-existence of the different ethnic-religious groups of Smyrna in the 18th century. The murder of a janissary by a Christian on 4 March 1797 led to the savage looting of the ‘Frangomachalas’ (Frenk mahalasi), the quarter of the European merchants, and the massacre of thousands of Orthodox Christians by groups of janissaries. |

It became famous mainly thanks to Opramoas, a notable citizen who benefited several Asia Minor cities and his birthplace after the devastating earthquake of 140 AD.
