About the Beyazıt Tower
Beyazıt Tower, whose other name is the Seraskier Tower, is a stone fire-watch tower of 85 m (279 ft) in Istanbul, Turkey. It stands inside Istanbul University's main campus courtyard, once the Ottoman Ministry of War, in the Fatih district, beside Beyazıt Square, called the Forum Tauri in Roman times.
Sultan Mahmud II (1808–1839) commissioned it. Senekerim Balyan designed the stone structure and saw it built in 1828, on the site of a wooden predecessor that fire had destroyed; that earlier tower was the work of his brother, Krikor Balyan. Both architects belonged to the Balyan family. The stone tower still stands on the same site.
A timber fire-watch tower rose in Beyazıt in 1749 and burned in the 1756 Great Fire of Cibali. Its replacements were destroyed in the riots that followed Mahmud II's move in 1826 to dissolve the Janissary Corps. The present stone tower, in Ottoman Baroque style, dates from 1828. The original watch room at the top, with 13 round arched windows, was reached by a wooden staircase of 180 steps; three octagonal floors were added in 1849, and an iron pole of 13 meters rose in 1889. A lighting system shows weather conditions in colors: red for snow, blue for clear weather, green for rain and yellow for fog.
