Galata Tower (Galata Kulesi), 507, by Bysantium Emperor Anasthasius under the name of Lighthouse Tower, Istanbul, Turkey. In 1348 the Genoese rebuilt the tower with pile stone and named it Christea Turris (Tower of Christ). The 66.90 metre tower was the city's tallest structure when it was built and still dominates the skyline at the highest point of the citywalls. The historical areas of the city were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985.
