Description
The Galata Tower is a medieval stone tower in the Galata/Karaköy quarter of Istanbul, just to the north of the Golden Horn. It was built as Christea Turris (Tower of Christ) in 1348 and offers a panoramic vista of Old Istanbul or Constantinople and its environs.
Almost all narrow roads in Karakoy lead to the tower, and its a brief uphill walk from the Karakoy tram station. The views of the old city from the tower are breath-taking, especially at sunset.
