A masterpiece of staircase design. Twin lanes of ascent and descent cascading down in a S shaped symmetrical artistic flair.
It's easier to descend on arrival rather, and we started our descent from the Galata tower.
The famous banker, Abraham Kamondo built these stairs that bear his family name for his grandchildren in the 19th Century.
A good place for some IG photos and to reflect on a time long gone...
