Description

Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (21 x 12 cm). In English. 64 p., ills. Galata: A guide to Istanbul's old Genoese quarter. Richly illustrated with photographs, prints, paintings, and engravings, John Freely's guide to Galata chronicles the history of this ancient district, describes Istanbul's major buildings and monuments visible from the Galata Tower's observation deck, and leads the reader on a walking tour of the principal historical sites in the area. Founded as far back in time as Byzantium itself, Istanbul's Galata district boasts a long and colorful past. Granted semi-independent status as a colony of Genoa by the Byzantine emperors in the Middle Ages, Galata is still dominated by the imposing Galata Tower-a remnant of the quarter's Genoese fortifications and one of Istanbul's most popular tourist attractions.
