4. visit galata tower from outside. Galata Tower, a renowned landmark in Istanbul, stands as an enduring symbol of the city's rich history and breathtaking views. Situated atop a hill in the Galata district, this cylindrical stone tower soars approximately 63 meters into the sky. Its story traces back to the Byzantine era when a wooden tower, Magalos Pyrgos (Great Tower), was erected in the 5th century to oversee Constantinople and the Golden Horn. However, fires, earthquakes, and the Fourth Crusaders' sack of Constantinople in 1204 led to the complete destruction of the original tower. In 1348, the Genoese community rebuilt the tower, naming it Christea Turris (Tower of Christ). It once held the title of Istanbul's tallest structure until 1749 when the Beyazıt Tower was constructed. Throughout its history, the Galata Tower has served as a jail, observatory, and watchtower during the Ottoman era.

About Istanbul

Istanbul liegt am Bosporus in Europa und Asien: byzantinische und osmanische Bauten, lebhafte Basare und Fähren zwischen zwei Kontinenten.

Auf der historischen Halbinsel stehen die größten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Hagia Sophia, Blaue Moschee und Hippodrom liegen sich in Sultanahmet gegenüber, die Basilikazisterne erstreckt sich unter den Straßen, und der Topkapı-Palast breitet sich auf dem Hügel über dem Goldenen Horn aus. Wenige Schritte entfernt sind der Große Basar und der Gewürzbasar seit Jahrhunderten Handelsplätze, und die Süleymaniye-Moschee des großen osmanischen Baumeisters Sinan krönt einen der sieben Hügel der Stadt.

Top-ranked sights in Istanbul: Dolmabahce Palace (Dolmabahce Sarayi), Bosphorus, Bosphorus Bridge (Bogazici Koprusu).
