While some towers are colonial buildings, some are watch towers or take-off runways for the adventurers. Well, Galata Tower has been all of these in its almost 700 years of life. Built by Genoese colonialists, the tower presents the history of three different nations as the Ottomans claimed the Galata Tower during the conquer of Constantinople, after which it was turned into a fire lookout tower after serving as a dungeon during the Ottoman period.
