The tower in the background is the Galata Tower.
The neighborhoods in the foreground include Karikoy and Tunel.
The entire peninsula between the Golden Horn and Bosphorus is known as Beyoğlu.
It is on the European side of what was Constantinople.
The area, more modern than the Old Town, is often mentioned by author Orhan Pamuk, who would take the nostalgic tram from Taksim square through Beyoğlu along İstiklâl Caddesi.
