Safety warning
Its story
The stairs were built in the 1870s by the Jewish banker Abraham Salomon Camondo (Kamondo) to overcome the steep slope between Bankalar Caddesi and the upper streets of Galata. Their two intertwining flights and half-moon-shaped landings have made the stairs a focus for photographers. The Camondo family held an important place in the commercial and banking life of Galata. The stairs are a short stop on the walk between Galata Tower and Karaköy.
