This historic tower, built by the Genoese in the 14th century, was used as both a watchtower and a prison in its time. Today, it stands tall as a symbol of Istanbul's enduring heritage. It offers visitors a glimpse into the city's past while showcasing the vibrant views of its present.

With this ticket, prepare for an unforgettable experience that will captivate your senses. As you ascend the tower, you'll admire its historical texture and architectural splendor that defies time. (A quick note here: The very top floor of the tower is currently being renovated). But this doesn't take away from the experience; you can explore the lower floors of the tower and admire the architectural details and the view, especially from the 7th-floor observation windows.

From here, you'll get lost in the vibrant city panorama, which offers a striking contrast between the ancient city and the modern one. From the sparkling waters of the Bosphorus to the majestic domes and minarets dotting the skyline, every angle offers a new perspective waiting to be discovered.
