North of the Golden Horn is the area called Beyoğlu, which for centuries was the preferred place of residence of Istanbul’s foreign communities. The most distinctive silhouette on the Galata skyline is the 62-m high Galata Tower that was build in 1348 by the Genoese.
Leander’s Tower is located in the Bosphorous offshore from the suburb of Üsküdar. The islet on which this 18th century tower stands was the site of a 12th century Byzantine fortress built by Manual I Comnenus. The tower is known in Turkish as the “Maiden’s Tower”.
A statue of Mustafa Kemal Paşa (1881-1938), known as Atǎturk or “Father of the Turks,” in Gülhane Park, Seraglio Point, Istanbul.
The Blue Mosque. It was built between 1609-16 by Mehmet Ağa, the imperial architect.
The Hagia Sophie. It is more than 1,400 years old. The “Church of Holy Wisdom,” Hagia Sophia was converted into a mosque in the 15th century by the Ottomans.
The fortress-like entrance to Istanbul University, Beyazit Square.
Within the wooded grounds of Istanbul University rises Beyazit Tower. This marble fire-watching station was build in 1828 on the site of Eski Saray, the palace first inhabited by Mehnet the Conqueror after Byzantium fell to the Ottomans.
