The Galata Tower

Target language: English

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.

Before edits: 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 as the Jesus Tower, it's been used as a dungeon and an observatory. The building has been restored many times, after a lot of fires and storms, and finally was repaired in 1964, and was opened for usage again in 1967. The Galata district, seems like a history book, whose leaves are waiting to be more frequently opened, and discovered over again, every day.

	FIGEN KIRCI Number of messages: 2543	hi, lilian! I've just noticed, that I've skiped the part 'during the Ottonom period'. it should be: '...At the beginning, called the Jesus Tower, it was used as a dungeon and an observatory during the Ottoman period...'. I'm so sorry! is it possible to edit it? CC: lilian canale
