Sous Soliman le Magnifique la tour servit de prison puis de tour d’observation astrologique sur Murat III. Entre 1964 et 1967 il fut réalisé de gros travaux de rénovation dont la création d’un restaurant et d’une salle de spectacle au dernier étage.

En 1632 au 17. siècle sous le règne de Murat IV, un homme du nom de Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi s’élança de la Tour de Galata et plana jusqu’à la rive asiatique grâce à des ailes qu’il avait lui même confectionné. Cet événement créa une grande sensation dans l’empire.

Galata Tower

Beyoglu Culture Route

A symbol for the spirit of İstanbul that has adorned the lines of several authors and poets, Galata Tower is without doubt the number one landmark to see in İstanbul. But, you might ask, what is it that is so special about this Tower that we encounter in almost every shot of İstanbul? The Tower, whose history spans nearly 1,500 years, was commissioned by the Byzantine emperor Justinian the Great in the 6th century as a lighthouse, which would then serve as a strategic watchtower. But little remained of its Byzantine glamour when it was majorly damaged in a huge fire. In 1348, the Genoese built a new tower, this time from rock, at the very same place and named it the “Tower of Christ.” When İstanbul was conquered on May 29, 1454, Galata Tower fell into the hands of the Ottoman Empire. Hard hit by the earthquake of 1509, the Tower had undergone a repairment by 1510. The Tower, which suffered from several consecutive fires, has been renewed a few times, its function changing each and every time.

The fact that the Ottoman inventor Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi wore a pair of wooden wings which he had created himself and flied from above the Galata Tower toward İstanbul’s Üsküdar district has been mentioned in quite a few works of art and has positively affected the Tower’s popularity. One of the most prominent travellers and authors of the 17th century, Evliya Çelebi writes in his famous Seyehatnâme (English, Book of Travels ) that the Tower was firstly used as a dungeon but then converted to a marine storehouse. During the repair works conducted in 1794, the Tower’s design was changed to a large extent, and its top floor was converted into a coffeehouse. In the restoration works that took place between 1967-1967, the Tower was rearranged as a touristic structure, each of its floors gaining a new function and its roof getting renewed. Galata Tower, which entered UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites list in 2013, was lastly converted into a museum within the scope of the works conducted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism in the year of 2020, and opened its door to visitors on October 6, 2020, the anniversary of the Liberation of İstanbul. The museum showcases an array of assets that reflect all the periods of İstanbul, which has been settled from the prehistoric times onwards and served as a capital to three huge empires for sixteen centuries.  

Until the midst of the 20th century, Galata Tower had been the highest structure in İstanbul. The observation terrace that stands on its top floor has one of the most beautiful panoramic views of İstanbul. Situated on a hill, it overlooks the stunning landscape of the city. Setting an example for a water tower that was constructed in the German town of Niederlehme in 1902, the 62-metre-high Galata Tower has a thick-walled cylindrical body made from stone and a roof of reinforced concrete.

The History and Significance of the Galata Tower

The Galata Tower, a prominent landmark in Istanbul, Turkey, was constructed in the 14th century. It was built in 1348 during the reign of the Genoese colony, which was established in the Galata district of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). The tower was commissioned by the Genoese merchant colony to serve as a critical part of the city’s fortifications.

The primary purpose of the Galata Tower was to defend the Genoese community and its commercial interests in the city. It provided a strategic vantage point for spotting potential threats and invasions, as well as controlling the movement of ships through the Golden Horn. The tower’s thick stone walls and imposing height made it a formidable defensive structure.

Over the centuries, the Galata Tower underwent several renovations and changes in ownership. In 1453, the Ottomans, led by Mehmed the Conqueror, captured Constantinople, and the tower came under Ottoman control. The Ottomans utilized it for various purposes, including as an observatory for celestial observations and as a fire tower to detect and combat fires in the city.

In the 19th century, during the reign of Sultan Mahmud II, the Galata Tower was further restored and repurposed as an astronomical observatory and watchtower. Later on, it was used as a telegraph station for signaling messages to other parts of the city. The tower’s distinct conical roof, which is a notable feature, was added during one of these renovations.

During the late 20th century, the Galata Tower was opened to the public as a tourist attraction. Today, it stands as an iconic symbol of Istanbul and provides breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the surrounding areas from its observation deck. It has also been featured in various cultural and artistic works, further enhancing its status as a historical and cultural symbol of Istanbul.

Inside the Galata Tower

Once inside the Galata Tower, you’ll find a small museum on the ground floor with historic artifacts, maps and information about the tower. But the main attraction is climbing up to the top – all 9 stories! Take the stone spiral staircase or modern elevator up to the observation deck at the top.

The Galata Tower houses a small museum on its upper levels dedicated to the tower’s history. As you climb the spiral stone staircase up the nine stories, you’ll encounter artifacts, documents, and exhibits highlighting key events from each century.

On the first level, you’ll learn about the tower’s initial construction in 1348 under the Genoese. The second floor focuses on the tower’s use as a jail and place of exile in the 17th century. The museum continues up through the centuries, with artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries as well.

The top floor museum exhibits focus on the 20th century restoration of the Galata Tower. Photographs show its dilapidated state before the restoration and its grand reopening in the 1960s. You’ll see blueprints and documents detailing how engineers reinforced the tower, which had begun to tilt and shift over the centuries. Thanks to their efforts, tourists can continue to climb the tower today and enjoy panoramic views of Istanbul.

The small museum provides an overview of how the tower has stood the test of time. Its exhibits give context to help visitors understand and appreciate the tower’s architectural and historical significance. For a nominal fee on top of your entrance ticket, it’s worth taking a quick tour through the museum floors before heading up to the observation deck. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of this iconic Istanbul landmark.

The 360-degree views from the open-air observation deck are stunning. You’ll see the Golden Horn, Bosphorus Strait, Topkapı Palace, Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. Watch ships sail by, spot different neighborhoods and just soak in the beauty of Istanbul. Come at sunset for especially dramatic views.

Legends and Love Stories of the Galata Tower

The Galata Tower has been a witness to many legends and love stories over the centuries. As the tallest building in Istanbul for a long time, the tower has inspired many romantic tales.

According to one legend, a young man named Hazerfen Ahmet Çelebi flew from the top of the Galata Tower across the Bosphorus to Üsküdar using artificial wings he had built. He did this to prove his love for a woman whose father would not allow them to marry. His daring feat and romantic heart won over the father, and he gained permission to marry the woman he loved.

Another tale tells of two ill-fated lovers, Leyla and Mecnun, who would meet secretly at the top of the Galata Tower. Leyla’s father eventually found out about their forbidden affair and imprisoned his daughter in their home. Leyla and Mecnun were able to continue communicating through messages they wrote on leaves and threw off the tower for the other to catch. Their sad story has become a symbol of passionate love in Turkish literature.

A more recent urban legend claims that couples who kiss at the top of the Galata Tower at midnight will be granted eternal love and happiness. While not proven, many couples still flock to the tower on special occasions to test this romantic myth.

The Galata Tower has witnessed war and peace, mingled with legends and housed many souls over the centuries. Yet, throughout all this time, the tower has remained a silent sentinel over the Bosphorus, keeping safe the memories of forbidden lovers and timeless passions in its ancient stones.

Tour de Galata

Posted by Istanbul City on Juin 11, 2011 in Monuments / Culture | 0 comments

Historique de la Tour de Galata

La Tour de Galata, Galata Kulesi en turc, se situe dans le quartier de Beyoglu (Istanbul). Il s’agit d’une construction datant de l’époque médiévale, plus précisément de 1348.  La Tour de Galata délimitait à l’époque la frontière Nord de la colline où se sont établis les Génois, avec l’accord des Byzantins, depuis le milieu du 13ème siècle. La Tour de Galata était alors entourée de murailles afin de protéger cette colline.

Avec l’arrivée des Ottomans au pouvoir à Istanbul en 1453, les derniers étages de la Tour de Galata furent utilisés comme point d’observation en vue de prévenir les incendies. Par la suite, la Tour de Galata faisait fonction de prison, puis de poste de contemplation dans le domaine astrologique. Il faut noter également, qu’au 17ème siècle, un homme du nom d’Hezarfen Ahmet Celebi devint le premier homme volant en s’élançant du sommet de la Tour de Galata et en arrivant au quartier d’Usküdar situé sur l’autre rive du Bosphore.

Architecture de la Tour de Galata

La Tour de Galata a une hauteur de 68 mètres, alors que sa base se situe à 35 mètres au-dessus du niveau de la mer. Il s’agissait à l’époque de de la plus haute construction de la ville d’Istanbul. Le diamètre de la Tour de Galata est quant à lui de 16 mètres. La Tour de Galata actuelle est toutefois quelque peu différente de la Tour de Galata originale du fait de plusieurs incendies et tremblements de terre qui ont touché l’édifice depuis sa construction.

Dans ce contexte, la partie supérieure de la Tour de Galata fut réparée voir même reconstruite à plusieurs reprises. Ceci fut le cas après le terrible incendie de 1794 ou dans les années 1960 lorsque l’on ajouta un toit conique à la Tour de Galata. Depuis 1960, la Tour de Galata est ouverte au public, avec la création d’un café, d’un restaurant et même d’une discothèque dans la partie supérieure de la Tour de Galata. Depuis le balcon située au 7éme étage de la Tour de Galata, vous pourrez observer une splendide vue sur le Bosphore et sur la ville d’Istanbul.

Visite de la Tour de Galata

La Tour de Galata est accessible à pied en descendant depuis l’extrémité Sud de la célèbre rue piétonne d’Istanbul nommée Istiklal Caddesi (Rue de l’Indépendance) dans le quartier de Beyoglu ou en montant depuis le quartier de Karaköy où se trouve un embarcadère de ferries pour les liaisons entre les deux rives du Bosphore.

La Tour de Galata est ouverte tous les jours de 9h à 20h.

GALATA TOWER MUSEUM

Also known as the galata kulesi museum, an iconic symbol situated in the galata quarter of i̇stanbul, türkiye..

Considered among the oldest towers in the world and one of the symbols of İstanbul, Galata Tower (Galata Kulesi) was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Temporary List in 2013. Galata Tower, one of the most important structures that make up the silhouette of İstanbul, was used as a long-term fire watchtower and was named Galata Fire Tower.

Galata Tower was first built by the Byzantine Emperor Justinianos in 507-508 AD. The ancient Tower of Galata "Megalos Pyrgos", which means Great Tower stood on the north side of the Golden Horn in İstanbul, located in the citadel of Galata. The tower then marked the northern end of the great chain, which was expanded across the mouth of the Golden Horn to prevent enemy ships from entering the harbor. The tower contained a mechanism for raising and lowering the chain. This tower should not be confused with the present time Galata Tower, which is still standing and located at the northernmost and highest point of the citadel of Galata.

The Genoese rebuilt the current tower in 1348-49. When the Genoans captured Galata in the 1300s, they saw that most of the walls and the first tower were destroyed by the Byzantines. Ultimately, they repaired all the walls and bastions. They also rebuilt the Galata Tower, located at the top of the walls, and laid the foundations of today's tower. The tower, called "Christea Turris" (Tower of Christ) after a cross on its cone, gradually became the symbol of this small Latin society.

After the conquest of İstanbul, the Galata Tower was left to the Ottomans by giving the key to Fatih Sultan Mehmet on the morning of 29 May 1453. The marble inscription at the entrance indicates this: "On the morning of Tuesday, May 29, 1453, the Genoese presented the keys of the Galata colony to Fatih Sultan Mehmed and the hand over of Galata was completed on Friday, June 1.". The tower was raised between 1445 and 46 years. It was damaged by an earthquake in the 1500's and was repaired by Architect Murad bin Hayreddin. III. After the tower is repaired during the Selim period, a bay window is added to the upper floor of the tower. In 1831, the tower suffered another fire, II. Mahmut rises two more floors above the tower and the top of the tower is covered with the famous cone-shaped roof cover. The building was last repaired in 1967.

Architecture of Galata Tower

Galata Tower was built in the masonry rubble stone system. The exterior is stone mesh. The 16-line poetic inscription located above the entrance narrates that the tower was destroyed in the fire and had it repaired by Sultan Mahmud II. It is thought that the eulogy was written by poet Pertev in his name because it was built during the Mahmut period and last verse: "...Bu kulle pek metîn oldu pek a‘lâ yaptı Mahmûd Han” 1248 (1832-33). The tughra of Sultan Mahmud II between the two crescent and star motifs is scraped.

The round arched window above the door was the lookout for the soldiers. It is a nine-story building after the high ground floor. The windows on the cylindrical body are brick-knit circular arches. The development of the last two floors just below the cone roof is emphasized by the profiled moldings surrounding the cylindrical body. There is a observation balcony with metal ornamented network that surrounds the floor under the cone roof. On the lower floor, there are round arches sitting on deep niche piers and brick-knit circular arched windows.

Today, it is observed that the part of the building up to the third floor has a Genoese character and the other floors have an Ottoman character. The building is used today reestablished as a museum with exhibition areas by Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2020 and opened to visitors on October 6th,2020, which is Independence Day of İstanbul.

Ahmed the wise, and his first unpowered flight

Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi (b. 1609, İstanbul - d. 1640, Algeria) is one of the first people in the world who managed to fly with bird-like wings that he master planned and developed. Ahmed “Hezarfen” (the man who knows everything) jumped from the Galata Tower in 1632 crossed the Bosphorus and landed to Asian side neighbourhood Üsküdar Dogancılar. It is claimed that he was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci and İsmail Cevherî, a Muslim-Turkish scholar who worked on these issues long before him. He also conducted experiments in Okmeydanı, İstanbul, before his historic flight to measure the durability of his bird-like wings, which he developed by studying the flight of birds.

“First, he practiced by flying over the pulpit of Okmeydanı eight or nine times with eagle wings, using the force of the wind. Then, as Sultan Murad Khan (Murad IV) was watching from the Sinan Pasha mansion at Sarayburnu, he flew from the very top of the Galata Tower (in contemporary Karaköy) and landed in the Doğancılar Square in Üsküdar, with the help of the south-west wind. Murad Khan then rewarded him for his feat with a sack of gold coins, saying: "This man is uncanny: he is capable of doing anything he wishes. It is not right to surround oneself with such people". True to his word, he then exiled Ahmed to Algeria, where the scientist remained until his death.” Evliyâ Çelebi, (1611 – 1682)

Underground Tunnels

During the excavation carried out in 1965 to strengthen the foundation of the tower, a tunnel passing through the center of the sphere at a depth of four meters was encountered. It is thought that this tunnel, 70 cm wide and 140 cm high, made of stone went down to the sea as a secret escape route during the Genoese period. After descending about 30 meters in the tunnel, deformations and rockfall were found. During the same excavation, human skeletal remains as well as four skulls, ancient coins and an inscription were also found. Authorities came to the conclusion that the skeletons belonged to the convicts who tried to dig a secret path from the tower, which was used as a dungeon in the time of Kanuni (Suleiman the Magnificent - 1494/1566), and died by being buried under the ground.

Demolition of Galata tower surrounding

Adjacent buildings of Galata Tower like the courtyard around it, fortification walls extending towards the shore, Turkish cemetery, the gates on the walls was destroyed and the ditches were filled by Şehremaneti VI. which was ruled by minorities and Levantines to make room for Levantine houses to be built there. The wooden houses in the Turkish architectural style, which can be seen in old engravings and even photographs, were demolished at the underneath and around the tower, and styleless masonry houses and apartments took their places.

A Storied Past: The History of the Galata Bridge

Early beginnings.

In the early 19th century, Mahmut II commissioned the first bridge over the Golden Horn, known as the Hayratiye Bridge. This pontoon bridge connected Azapkapi and Unkapani and was around 500 to 540 meters long.

The First Galata Bridge: Cisr-i Cedid

The Galata Bridge that we know today has its origins in the Cisr-i Cedid (New Bridge), which was constructed in 1845 by Valide Sultan, mother of Sultan Abdulmecid. This wooden bridge was used for 18 years and became a vital link between old and new Istanbul.

Subsequent Bridges

The first Galata Bridge was replaced by a second wooden bridge in 1863, followed by a third bridge in 1875, which was 480 meters long and rested on 24 pontoons. The fourth iteration of the bridge, built in 1912 by the German firm MAN AG, was a floating bridge 466 meters long and 25 meters wide. This bridge was damaged in a fire in 1992 and towed up the Golden Horn to make way for the current bridge.

The Modern Galata Bridge

The fifth and current Galata Bridge was built by the Turkish construction company STFA and completed in December 1994. It is a bascule bridge, ranking first of its type in the world, measuring 490 meters long with a main span of 80 meters. The bridge now features tram tracks, allowing the Istanbul Tram to run from the suburbs near Ataturk International Airport to a few blocks before Dolmabahçe Palace .
