Galata Tower is clearily visible. It's an old Genoese tower. Built as a watchtower at the highest point of the (lost) Walls of Galata, currently a museum and an exhibition space. In 1267 a Genoese colony was established in the Galata part of Constantinople. After the Turkish Conquest of Constantinople in 1453, the Genoese colony was abolished.
