History
During the Ottoman era, the conical top was modified and used to keep a check on fires in the city. During the time of Sultan Selim III, several fires in the monument destroyed the stairs and other parts in the building. After such incidents, a restoration project was initiated and continued for several years. The walls were thickened and windows were built at a great height, making it perfect for defense. The Galata Towers were opened for public in 1967.
