Description: This photograph showcases the iconic Beyazit Tower, also known as the Seraskier Tower, standing proudly in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey. Located on Beyazit Square, this 85-meter-tall (279 ft) fire-watch tower was once part of the Ottoman Ministry of War. The tower's name, Seraskier, derives from the title of the Ottoman grand vizier, who oversaw the military and civilian administration.

The square, filled with vibrant markets and bustling activity, is a popular tourist destination and a symbol of the city's rich history and diverse culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1920s and the unique charm of Istanbul during that era.
