Galata Tower
Sunday, September 14, 2014
The Galata Tower (Turkish: Galata Kulesi) is a medieval stone tower in the Galata/Karaköy quarter of Istanbul. One of the city's most striking landmarks, it is a high, cone-capped cylinder that dominates the skyline and offers a panoramic vista of Istanbul's historic peninsula and its environs. The tower is 66.90 meters tall. The Romanesque style tower was built as Christea Turris in 1348 during an expansion of the Genoese colony in Constantinople. Galata Tower was the tallest building in Istanbul at 66.9 m when it was built in 1348.
