Assassin's Creed: Revelations is set in 1511 Constantinople during Ottoman rule.
Although it might not be as prominent as it was in centuries gone by, Istanbul's Galata Tower is still one of the city's most striking landmarks. Times have changed since this mediaeval stone construction formed part of the fortifications for the Genoese colony or was used by the Ottomans as a look-out for fires. Visitors these days can take a short elevator ride to the top, where they can enjoy panoramic views and an overpriced cafe.
