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 sträcker sig över Europa och Asien vid Bosporen, med bysantinska och osmanska monument, livliga basarer och färjor mellan världsdelarna.

Den historiska halvön rymmer de största landmärkena. Hagia Sofia, Blå moskén och Hippodromen ligger mitt emot varandra i Sultanahmet, Basilikacisternen ligger under gatorna och Topkapipalatset breder ut sig på kullen ovanför Gyllene hornet. En kort promenad bort har Grand Bazaar och kryddbasaren handlat i århundraden, och Süleymaniyemoskén, byggd av den store osmanske arkitekten Sinan, kröner en av stadens sju kullar.

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