Source language: Turkish

Kule 1349'da Cenovalılarca Galata'yı çevreleyen surların başkulesi olarak inşa edilmiştir. Yapılışı hakkında çeşitli söylentiler vardır. Başlangıçta isa Kulesi olarak adlandırılan kule, Osmanlılar döneminde zindan ve gözlemevi olarak kullanılmıştır. Yangın ve fırtınalardan sonra sık sık restore edilen bina, son olarak 1964'de onarım görmüş ve 1967'de yeniden kullanıma açmıştır. Galata semti, her gün yeniden keşfedilmeyi, yapraklarının daha sık karıştırılmasını bekleyen bir tarih kitabı gibidir.

Title
The Galata Tower
Translation

Translated by FIGEN KIRCI
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.

Hi FIGEN, I've made just a few corrections.

Before edits:

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?
