Torbalı (Turkish pronunciation: ['toɾbaɫɯ]) is a municipality and district of İzmir Province, Turkey.[2] Its area is 577 km2,[3] and its population is 207,840 (2022).[1]

An ancient Ionian city, Metropolis, is found in the district. It was famous for its wines and religious sites, and had three sanctuaries in marble dedicated to the Roman Emperor Augustus and his foster child Germanicus, in an ancient theatre which dominates the valley.[citation needed]

Pieces of art found during the excavations are now exhibited in İzmir and Ephesus museums. The town has the remains of an old port and a few holiday complexes, and is set attractively against a pine forest.[citation needed]
