Galata Tower and Maiden's Tower Love Story Galata tower and Maiden's Tower fell in love with each other. However, the Istanbul Bosphorus made that love impossible. One day, Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi climbed the Galata Tower. His aim was to fly from the European side to the Anatolian side. He could not resist the insistence of the Galata Tower and the letters he had accumulated, which were bought by Galata. He leaves the letters to the Maiden Tower. The letters are swept away by the wind and the waves reach the Maiden's Tower. Maiden's Tower realizes that her love is not unrequited and it becomes even more beautiful. Thus, the Galata Tower realizes that the Maiden's Tower is in love with it. By looking at each other but not meeting, they form the most beautiful view of Istanbul and their love defies centuries.
