Galata Tower
Galata Tower, originally erected in the fourth century, was destroyed during the Fourth Crusade, but later rebuilt in 1348 in the Genoese colony of Istanbul known as Galata. Although it originally was constructed for military defense purposes, it was used after the fall of Constantinople as a watchtower for fires and today is open to the public as a museum. It provides a 360 degree view of Istanbul.
