Galata Tower

We hiked across The Galata Bridge to The Galata Tower. There are hundreds of Turks fishing over the edge of the bridge. Underneath the bridge are rows of fish restaurants. The Galata Tower was built at the site of the tower of Christ in 528. It is one of the oldest towers in the world. It is 140 meters tall. There is a 365 degree view it's overwhelming to see how big Istanbul is. The rows of streets and buildings go on farther than the eye can see.
