Voice Of Museum

Galata Kulesi, Bizans İmparatorluğu döneminde, Galata semtinin Ceneviz kolonisi olduğu on dördüncü yüzyıl ortalarında, Cenevizliler tarafından, Galata surlarının bir parçası olarak inşa edilmiştir. Osmanlı döneminde bir süre zindan olarak kullanıldıktan sonra, yangın gözetleme kulesine çevrilmiştir. Zaman zaman deprem ve yangınlarla tahrip olan kule, Osmanlı döneminde birkaç kez tadilat geçirmiştir. 1960’lı yıllara gelindiğinde bir hayli harap durumda olan kule, İstanbul Belediyesi tarafından restore edilerek ziyarete açılmıştır. Galata Kulesi 2020 yılında Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü tarafından yeniden restore edilmiş, sonradan eklenen betonarme unsurlar ve kafeterya kaldırılarak, müze işleviyle kapılarını ziyaretçilere yeniden açmıştır.

Galata Kulesi müzesinde, tarihöncesi dönemlerden itibaren yerleşime sahne olan ve üç büyük imparatorluğa, yaklaşık on altı yüzyıl boyunca başkentlik yapan İstanbul’un tüm dönemlerini yansıtan eserler sergilenmektedir. 20. yüzyılın ortalarına kadar İstanbul’daki en yüksek yapılardan biri olan Galata Kulesi’nin en üst katı, İstanbul'un en güzel panoramik manzaralarından birine sahiptir. Kule, Akdeniz ve Karadeniz’deki Ceneviz Kuleleri ile birlikte Unesco’nun geçici miras listesinde yer almaktadır.

Hazır Gelmişken

İstanbul’un ilk mevlevihanesi ve Beyoğlu’ndaki en önemli Osmanlı eseri olan Galata Mevlevihanesi’ne yürüyüş mesafesi ile ulaşabilirsiniz. Ayrıca, Kule’den yukarı İstiklal Caddesi’ne çıkıldığında Tarık Tunaya Kültür Merkezi de ücretsiz olarak ziyarete açıktır.

Galata Tower

Galata tower: istanbul's timeless marvel.

Galata Tower, a renowned landmark in Istanbul, stands as an enduring symbol of the city's rich history and breathtaking views. Situated atop a hill in the Galata district, this cylindrical stone tower soars approximately 63 meters into the sky. Its story traces back to the Byzantine era when a wooden tower, Magalos Pyrgos (Great Tower), was erected in the 5th century to oversee Constantinople and the Golden Horn. However, fires, earthquakes, and the Fourth Crusaders' sack of Constantinople in 1204 led to the complete destruction of the original tower.

In 1348, the Genoese community rebuilt the tower, naming it Christea Turris (Tower of Christ). It once held the title of Istanbul's tallest structure until 1749 when the Beyazıt Tower was constructed. Throughout its history, the Galata Tower has served as a jail, observatory, and watchtower during the Ottoman era.

Following a 1960 restoration, the tower opened to the public and now boasts a 360-degree viewing platform, providing visitors with awe-inspiring panoramic vistas of Istanbul's historic peninsula and the cityscape.

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.

Inscription

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.

Inscription

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

Inscription

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.

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, Istanbul, Turkey

Last Updated on January 18, 2023

The Galata Tower, one of the most prominent architectural gems, welcomes thousands of visitors every year, offering an extraordinary panoramic view of the entire city of Istanbul. Located in the historic Beyoğlu district, the tower has dominated the skyline since 1348, and never lost its gleaming glory since then. 

Visiting Information

The Tower is open to visitors from 8:30 am to 11 pm every day of the week. 

Entrance Fee

You can either buy a ticket or buy a Museum Card , which is highly recommended if you are planning to visit various historical sights around Turkey. If you have a Museum Card you don't have to wait in the ticket queue, you can immediately enter the tower by showing your Museum Card. For more information about the current prices of the tickets, you can check the official Galata Tower website .

How to get there

Galata Tower is located in a central location, which makes it easy to access via public transportation ( map ).

You can either take the Metro , get off at  Şişhane Station, and walk down Beyoğlu Street for 10-15 minutes, then you will reach it. Beyoğlu Street is very nice to walk through, filled with tiny authentic shops, and rooftop bars, from which you can have an incredible view of Galata Tower. 

Alternatively, you can take the tram , get off at Karaköy , and walk up through Bank Street, Bankalar Caddesi . Follow the Komodo Stairs , Komodo Merdiveni , leading you to the tower through cute alleyways, allowing you to experience the real Old Istanbul .  

Architecture

The Galata Tower is 66.9 meters (220-feet) high. Most of the interior has changed throughout history, but the 3.75-meter (12-foot)-thick walls remain, still passing through the authentic feeling of history.  Until the 1960s it was a fire lookout tower. Now the upper floors hold the panorama balcony.

The panorama balcony , encircling the top of the tower, is a real gem. You can observe the entire city down to the smallest detail. On one side you will have the endless beauty of the Golden Horn , uniting with the Bosphorus. The Topkapı Palace , Hagia Sophia , Blue Mosque , and the Süleymaniye Mosque, all lined up on the horizon, will give you an incredible panorama. Being surrounded by so many architectural gems, and mosques, you will definitely want to be on top of Galata Tower when it's time for the call to prayer s, preferably the sunset call, then you will have the full effect.

Initially the tower was built in 528 by the Byzantines as a lighthouse, to keep an eye on the Marmara Sea and ships, being vigilant against the possible dangers approaching the land. In 1024 the tower was destroyed due to occupation but was rebuilt by the Genoese in 1348.

Originally named the Tower of Christ , the tower was the highpoint in the city walls of the Genoese colony called Galata . 

A lot of repairs have been done after the conquest of Istanbul in 1453, under the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. Back then the tower was used as a dungeon, later on, it was also used as an observatory, and fire watchtower, as almost every location of the city could be observed from it.

In Evliya Çelebi’s, a famous Ottoman Traveler, Travel Book the story is told of how, in 1638, Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi attached wings to his body and flew across the Bosphorus to Üsküdar. He is considered to be the first person in the world to fly with sail wings.

The neighborhood around the Galata Tower, derelict when I first came to Istanbul in the 1960s, was very much filled with the hüzün (melancholy) so emphasized in Orhan Pamuk's wonderful memoir, Istanbul: Memories and the City.

In the past few years, however, the entire district from the Galata Tower uphill to Tünel Square, with its Swedish Consulate-General, Deutsche Schule (German High School), and other Ottoman-era institutions, has been extraordinarily gentrified.

The Tower of Love

According to certain legends the Galata Tower is believed to be a magical spot where love unravels and binds lovers to one another till eternity. Couples who climb the tower together for the first time will get married, but if one of them already has climbed it the opposite will happen. That is why you better make sure to be the first one with whom your partner climbs the tower, otherwise, it's up to you to consider the consequences, if you believe in the local legend.

Another legend is about the endless love between the Galata Tower and The Maiden’s Tower , which unfortunately has no happy ending. It is believed that the Bosphorus not only divides Istanbul into two, but also separates these two lovers from one another. This separation is thought to be the reason why Hazerfen Ahmet Çelebi flew from the tower to Üsküdar , only to hand on the love letters of the Galata Tower to The Maiden Tower. But unfortunately, a strong wind came by and dispersed all the letters into the Bosphorus.

Galata Convent of Whirling Dervishes

Galata Convent of Whirling Dervishes

It is an image that has become synonymous with Turkey, its culture, and Middle-Eastern mysticism. At The Galata Convent of Whirling Derishes, you will be treated to the poignant and captivating sight of skilled Turkish Dervishes hypnotically spinning in deep prayer, a display staged in the worship of Allah. The ceremony which has long been performed for awed spectators shows groups of men whirling for a quarter of an hour in a trance-like state to the sound of ululating, sonorous, Islamic hymns. For an authentic glimpse into Turkey’s cultural and spiritual past, this spectacle is not to be missed.

DÉCRYPTAGE - La plus importante communauté juive du monde musulman fait face à une montée de l’antisémitisme.

Correspondante à Istanbul

Ilana a pris place à la terrasse de l’Otantik Café, à deux pas de la synagogue Neve Shalom, en plein quartier historique de Galata, à Istanbul . Une foule dense bat le pavé, mélange de touristes arabes, asiatiques et européens ainsi que de Stambouliotes pressés, dans cette mégalopole turque à cheval entre deux rives où le monde entier semble s’être donné rendez-vous.

« Cette ville te donne ce pouvoir-là: celui de te fondre dans la masse, d’être qui tu es, quelle que soit ton histoire, quelles que soient tes origines », avance la jeune graphiste stambouliote de confession juive, boucles brunes sous une casquette en cuir. Ses yeux pétillants trahissent un inhabituel voile d’inquiétude. « Bon, c’est vrai qu’on a connu des jours meilleurs », murmure-t-elle en fouillant dans la messagerie de son smartphone. « Tu vas payer pour les enfants de Gaza .
