GALATA TOWER
Edit This
As the stronghold of the Genoese defence system in Pera, in 1348 on the hill above the harbour the Galata Tower was errected (The Tower of Christ).
You really should take the time to have a look at that and esp. from that tower. Don't mind the admission fee that is charged, it is really worth it. Try to be there at sundown and you will understand why I do think this is one of the most beautifull views in the world.
