Turkey Istanbul | Galata Tower | City Center 4K Walking Tour | Best Places To Photography 2021

Galata Tower is one of the symbols of Istanbul and it is situated in Galata, on a hill seeing the historical peninsula of Istanbul from A-Z. The origin of the Galata Tower goes back to the fifth century CE, when Byzantines built a wooden tower named Magalos Pyrgos (Great Tower) in order to control the city of Constantinople and Golden Horn. Due to the fires, earthquakes, and the Sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusaders in 1204 the wooden tower was completely destroyed.

In 1348, Genoese community living in the district of Pera (Galata) built today’s Galata Tower and named it Christea Turris (Tower of Christ). Galata Tower is a cylindrical tower made from stone and it is approximately 67 meters long.

Galata Tower was the tallest building of Istanbul until the construction of Beyazıt Tower in 1749. During the Ottoman period, Galata Tower functioned as jail, observatory house, and watch tower. After the restorations took place in 1960, Galata Tower was commercialized and opened to the public. Today, the tower functions as 360-degree viewing platform of Istanbul.
Galata Tower already gives 360-degree magnificent view of Istanbul and the panorama of Istanbul’s historical peninsula. This one-minute video contains the aerial shots of Galata Tower, Galata district, Golden Horn, and Istanbul’s historical peninsula.
Galata Tower has been the best spot for the panorama of Istanbul’s historical peninsula and in the nineteenth century many artists drew the panorama of Istanbul from Galata Tower. For instance, famous French panorama painter Pierre Prévost drew in 1818 his "Panorama de Constantinople" which was later exhibited in Paris in 1825.
According to Evliya Çelebi -who is a historian and traveller- Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi flew from the balcony of Galata Tower to Üsküdar (district in the Asian side of Istanbul) in 1632, making him the first person to fly from Europe to Asia.
