Istanbul seen from Galata Tower

Posted 1 year ago by wshopper in response to jiro's question: Who can make me a short description of some worth-visiting places in Istanbul? thank u (give a different answer) .

You should take the time and climb the hill above the harbour to see the famous Galata Tower. It was erected in the 14th century being used during the years as a prison, an observatory and after that as a fire lookout... only that in 1835 it caught fire itself. The best views are from the observation desk.
