The Tower, was built in 1349 by the Genoesians, as the main tower of the walls, which surround Galata. There are many rumors about how it was built. At the beginning, called the Jesus Tower, it was used as a dungeon and an observatory during the Ottonom period. The building has been restored many times and after a lot of fires and storms, it was finally repaired in 1964, and reopened for use in 1967. The Galata district, seems like a history book, whose pages are waiting to be more frequently opened, and discovered over and over, every day.
