When we did the mission where we wore the musicians uniforms the game removed the Master Assassin Armor from us so if you have yet to do so, it would be an idea to use the tunnels to return to the Assassin HQ in Galata and put that back on by interacting with it in the trophy room. This is convenient because we have to return to Galata anyway, as that is where this memory starts -- at the Tower of Galata.Climb all the way to the top of the tower to the marker and use your Hidden Blade to open the door there -- remember that there are three hidden chests here we need to grab as well as the story stuff -- and you get a brief CS of you entering the Tower. A clue that was left behind by Polo brought us here -- but to get 100% Synchronization we need to complete the level in under 6 minutes!
Galata Tower is one of the symbols of Istanbul and it is situated in Galata, on a hill seeing the historical peninsula of Istanbul from A-Z. The origin of the Galata Tower goes back to the fifth century CE when Byzantines built a wooden tower named Magalos Pyrgos (Great Tower) in order to control the city of Constantinople and the Golden Horn. Due to the fires, earthquakes, and the Sack of Constantinople by the Fourth Crusaders in 1204 the wooden tower was completely destroyed.

Galata Tower was the tallest building in Istanbul until the construction of Beyazıt Tower in 1749. During the Ottoman period, Galata Tower functioned as a jail, observatory house, and watchtower. After the restorations took place in 1960, Galata Tower was commercialized and opened to the public. Today, the tower functions as a 360-degree viewing platform of Istanbul.
The capture resulted in the death of the Ottoman Assassin leader Yusuf Tazim, so it infuriated the Assassins and led them to an all-out assault on the arsenal within Constantinople, where Ahmet was temporarily hiding. Though many of his men were killed during the attack, Ahmet managed to salvage his own life by reminding Ezio that he still held Sofia. Offering to spare Sofia in exchange for the Masyaf keys, Ahmet arranged a meeting with Ezio near Galata Tower. Ahmet met with Ezio on the rampart connected to Galata Tower soon afterward, and after some mutual hostility as Ahmet still threaten Sofia's life, Ezio handed over the keys and Ahmet then directed him to Sofia atop Galata Tower. Unbeknownst to the Assassin however, the captured woman atop the Galata Tower was not Sofia, as Ahmet had ordered Sofia to be strangled in a square not too far from the tower to buy himself time as he knew Ezio would be quick enough to immediately pursue him after saving Sofia. Ahmet finally had all keys in his possession, so he triumphantly hurried off to Masyaf.
The first game, named Assassin's Creed, takes place in the Holy Land during the Crusades. The player character is Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, living through the memories of 21st-century assassin Desmond Miles. Altaïr later visits Cyprus which is the setting of Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines.
The Master Assassin goes to the Grand Bazaar to meet with Piri Reis, a famous cartographer, and collect bombs from him. Nowadays there is a Piri Reis shop at Ataturk Airport. There are no assassins in the Grand Bazaar these days but only the strongest willed of tourists can pass through its 18 gates, 65 streets, 21 caravanserais and 4000 shops with their wallets intact.
Galata Tower was built in 1348 by Genoese colony in Istanbul. It was built to replace the Megalos Pyrgos (old Galata tower). Megalos Pyrgos (Great Tower) had been destroyed during the Sack of Constantinople (Istanbul) by the Latin Crusaders (4th crusade) in 1204. The main mission of Megalos Pyrgos was to to prevent enemy ships from entering the harbor. Although Galata Tower was built with the intention of replacing Megalos Pyrgos, it was not built at the very same location. Genoese colony named it Christea Turris (Tower of Christ) but the Byzantines preferred to call this new tower again with the name Megalos Pyrgos. When it was built, Galata Tower was the tallest building of the time.
Galata Tower underwent several restorations during the Ottoman Empire. After 1717, it was used as a fire-observatory tower, the upper part of the tower (the conical roof) was changed to spot fires in Istanbul, but the tower itself unfortunately went through a fire in 1794 during the reign of Sultan Selim III. Another fire took place in 1831 and then a new restoration was made. The conic roof of the tower was severely damaged during a storm in 1875. It stayed without the conic roof during rest of the Ottoman reign.
After many years, Turkish Republic restored the conical roof in 1965-1967. In this final restoration the wooden interior of the tower replaced with a concrete structure and it was opened to public visitation. 2ff7e9595c
