The Galata Tower was built in 1348 in Roman style as (Tower of Christ) during the expansion of the Genoese Colony. During the Ottoman period, the conical top of the tower underwent several restorations works. From 1717, Ottomans use this tower for spotting fires and so this tower was badly damaged. In 1875, during a heavy storm, the conical roof was destroyed. For the rest of the Ottoman period, this tower is without its conical roof. During restoration work in the 1960s, the conical roof was reconstructed and the wooden interior of the tower was changed by a concrete structure.
