WintersVacayIstanbul ~~ Galata Towers

The Galata tower is one of the oldest still standing towers in the world dating back to 528ad.It was originally build as a lighthouse and the place has been restored many times over the centuries, the last time being in 1967.



Quite a walk membukit to GalataTower @north of the GoldenHorn dominating Galata. This five floors tower sits over stone walls on rocky and argillaceous schistose ground. Used as a fire watch tower after 1874 and as touristic purposes in the end of 19th century and restores mengikut ciri zaman Sultan Mahmut II. But not to worry kami pown semput gak ingat kena naik tangga but they do have the elevator system. But one interesting thing is, check the ladies toilet, they have an office IN THE toilet, huhu. anybody looking for a job, huhu
