Galata Tower was built by the Genoese as a part of the Galata walls during the Byzantine Empire period, in the middle of the fourteenth century, when the Galata district was a Genoese colony. The top floor of the tower, which is one of the symbols of Istanbul, is a restaurant.
The visitors can watch the beautiful view here. If you wish, you can sit on the stairs and benches just below and watch Galata instead of Istanbul. 2021 entrance fee is US$10.
