History and story of Galata Tower, Istanbul
The Galata Tower was built in 1348 AD, and the main objective of its construction was to make it a warehouse for materials from which ships were built, but later it was used as a prison during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent because of its large size and its location on the outskirts of the old city
In the sixteenth century, astronomer Taqi al-Din Effendi turned the tower into an astronomical observatory, being the tallest tower at the time, but it was soon reused as a prison during the reign of Sultan Murad III.
