what tower are you speaking of? I'm only fixated at that beautiful woman infront of the tower, lol
Surrounded by charming coffeshops, i remember it well!
Great 360° view of Istanbul!
Yes Istanbul fascinating with everything
It really is, a true Metropolis! Not only for it's size and population, but also for the diversity of people. Having Turkish heritage made it more fun to visit the "capital":D
I can understand how structures like the pyramids are able to stay standing for so long due to the ratio of their base to the that of their peak, but how is it even possible for a tower like this to last for 1,500 years!? That's truly remarkable, a real testament to Byzantine craftsmanship.
