Approaching the Galata tower (on the left), one of the "landmarks" of Istanbul, Turkey.
The Galata Tower, "officially" named "Tower of Christ" was originally constructed by Genoese in 1348, and since then it's dominating the skyline of Beyoglu and Istanbul in general. From its balcony you can enjoy some of the most rewarding panoramic views of this glorious city.
