Camondo Stairs

explored, thanks:)

www.turkeytravelplanner.com/galeri/istanbul_winter/photop...

Istanbul's Camondo Stairs in Galata (Karaköy) were a public service project donated by the Camondos, a wealthy Istanbul Jewish family.

The stairs climb the hill from the Galata docks and Bankalar Caddesi (Avenue of the Banks) up to the fashionable 19th-century neighborhoods where the Camondos built an imposing edifice to house a school.
