Istanbul 2022 Galata Tower Walking Tour | 4K ULTRA HD 60FPS |

Описание: The Galata Tower enables the people on top to have a 360-degree view of Istanbul. It is one of the symbols of the city, and one of the things that make it so great is that it is quite accessible and close to the other places that you may want to visit during a grand Istanbul tour. But you are always welcome to just be mesmerized by the panoramic Istanbul view or the historical artifacts that recounts the story of Istanbul from very early on.
As one of the tallest buildings of its time, the famous Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi used the tower’s roof as the take-off point of his flight between continents.
The Galata Tower, Galata Kulesi in Turkish, is one of the highest and oldest towers of Istanbul. 63 meter (206 feet) high tower provides a panoramic view of the old town. It was built in the 14th century by the Genoese colony as part of the defense wall surrounding their district at Galata directly opposite ancient Constantinopolis. They called the tower as "Christea Turris", or "Tower of Christ". The Genoese were involved in trade with the Byzantines and the tower was used for the surveillance of the Harbor in the Golden Horn. After the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmet II, it served to detect fires in the city.
Hezarfen Ahmet Celebi was the first flying Turk during the Ottoman Empire of the 17th century. He copied bird wings and studied air flows, than jumping from the Galata Tower he overflew the Bosphorus and landed at Uskudar district on the Asian side, around 6 kilometers (4 miles) in distance.
After the Republic, Galata Tower was restored and opened to the public in 1967. The tower houses a cafeteria on top, there was also a night club which is closed down after the last restoration in 2013. A couple of elevators will take you up but there are still three more floors to climb by stairs to get on the panoramic terrace which is 52 meters above the ground. A small souvenir shop is located inside the tower just across the ticket office at the entrance level.
