1-minute story
Press play. Don’t read.
A short field-note style narration for this place.
Galata Tower begins as a road sign and opens into a field note. Around İstanbul, this anıt / museum target asks you to slow down, step out of the car and read the landscape as evidence. The stones, paths and silhouettes do not explain themselves at once; they wait for attention. In one minute, the detour becomes less about ticking off a place and more about noticing what the road was trying to show you.
