Green Illuminates Galata Tower, Launching Night Museology in Turkey

Green, the first company to launch Night Museology in Turkey, has realized the Lighting Project of Galata Tower.

The Galata Tower, one of the oldest buildings in Turkey, located in the Beyoğlu District, the center of culture and art, which has become an indispensable destination for both local and foreign tourists due to its location in Istanbul, was illuminated by Green with Green Lighting products.

Galata Tower Contributes Significantly to Istanbul's Brand Image

For Istanbul, Galata Tower has been playing an important role in the city skyline for centuries. Built as a lighthouse by the Byzantines in the 5th century and incorporated into the walls of Galata by the Genoese in the 13th century, Galata Tower contributes significantly to the brand image of Istanbul.

Galata Tower Illuminated by Green with New Generation Lighting Project

After a long and detailed planning and projecting process, the exterior lighting system of the Galata Tower was realized by emphasizing its aesthetic values, taking into account its location and the lighting structure of the region, and producing special products. Thanks to the Green Lighting products used in the tower body lighting, energy savings of up to 80% were achieved compared to conventional lighting fixtures. The number of visitors to the Galata Tower, illuminated with Green Lighting products, increased significantly after the new lighting.

The legendary love of the Galata Tower and the Maiden's Tower, which has been told in stories for centuries and has survived to the present day, and their inability to meet each other, also took place as a symbol in lighting design.

Morse Code was used in the luminaire on the cone window of the tower. The lights, flashing from time to time, were depicted as the expression of Galata Tower's undying love for the Maiden's Tower.

Green; continues to add value to both cultural tourism and the country's economy by shedding light on our past and our future with the Galata Tower, one of our historical values within the scope of the “New Generation Lighting Project”.
