This medieval stone tower was utilized for surveillance of the harbor in the Golden Horn, Istanbul. After the conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the tower was used to detect fires in the city.

Description

The Galata Tower is a Great Building that does not belong to any particular age. It produces a number of random goods of the player's current age every 24 hours. From the Modern Era onward it produces double amount of unrefined goods. Additionally it gives a certain chance to repel a plunder for a number of tries. The number of tries is reset with every collection from this building.

Queen Teuta

Similarly to the Oracle of Delphi, blueprints are obtainable via an early game questline or by contributing to other players' Galata Tower.
