The Galata Tower, a medieval stone tower in the Bereketzade district of Istanbul, offers panoramic views perfect for photographers. Originally built by the Genoese in 1348 as the Christea Turris, it stands 67 meters tall. The 360-degree observation deck provides sweeping vistas of the Golden Horn, Bosphorus, and the historic peninsula. Opt for early morning or sunset visits to capture the best light and avoid large crowds. The tower also hosts exhibitions and has a café with views, making it ideal for extended photo sessions. Rich in history and charm, the surrounding Galata district features narrow cobblestone streets and vibrant street art, offering a myriad of unique photographic opportunities.
