It takes its name from the Galata district where it is located. Built as a watchtower within the Galata Walls, the tower is now used as an exhibition sp

ace and a museum. It is one of the symbolic structures of both Beyoğlu and Istanbul. The Genoese, who were in alliance with the Byzantine Empire, established a colony called "Pera" in Galata, located to the north of the Golden Horn, in 1267, and expanded the dominance of this colony with the permissions given by Byzantium. The tower, which was called the "Holy Cross Tower" because of the cross on its top, was built as a part of the fortifications made in the region between 1335-1349 by increasing the dominance area towards the hill in the northeast direction, contrary to these permissions.

Uma das torres mais notáveis ​​do mundo encontra-se em Istambul, maior cidade da Turquia.

Para mim um dos melhores lugares da cidade para ver o por do sol.

Na época de sua construção, a República de Gênova, uma república marítima da costa noroeste da Itália, dominava a cidade, e foram os genovês que construíram a torre no ano de 1348. A galata Tower foi o prédio mais alto da Turquia por séculos. Do topo da torre você enxega o estreito de bósforo que separa a Europa da Ásia, diversas mesquitas entre elas as famosas Hagia Shopia e a mesquita Azul que ficam na antiga Constantinopla, hoje o bairro de Sulthanamed. Passeio imperdível em istambul.
