Galata Tower (Galata Kulesi)
Description
Originally built around the 5th century this tower has served a number of purposes, including as a prison. Today it offers unrivalled views over the city, the Golden Horn, Bosporus, Sea of Marmaris and across into the Asian side of the city. A lift whisks you up to the 6th floor from where stairs take you up to the 7th floor for a topographical model of the city and up to the 8th floor for the balcony and the views.
