THE EUROPEAN "NEW TOWN" ACROSS THE GOLDEN HORN
In 1348 the Genoese built Galata Tower, one of the most prominent landmarks of Istanbul.
Pera (Galata) remained under Genoese control until May 29, 1453, when it was
conquered by the Ottomans, along with the rest of the city, in the Siege
of Constantinople.
