Perfect Natural Harbors by mrclay2000
The Golden Horn runs approximately seven miles inland from the Sea of Marmara, a natural harbor along the northern edge of Stamboul that contributed heavily to the city's wealth (the fisheries here have been notorious over the centuries). Frequently miscalled the divider between European and Asian Istanbul, the inlet only divides Stamboul from the more modern suburb of Pera (Galata).Standing on the Galata Bridge, the focal point of life in Istanbul, the senses are overwhelmed with sounds and images. Hawkers and fishermen swarm the bridge. The Galata Tower stares down from its stronghold, while Yeni Cami anchors the southern watches, flanked in turn by Topkapi Palace and Suleimaniye.
