Camondo stairs, Historic stairs in Galata district, Istanbul, Turkey.
The Camondo Stairs feature a curved hexagonal design that connects Bankalar Caddesi to Banker Sokak through a series of elegant stone steps.
Abraham Salomon Camondo, a Sephardic Jewish banker, funded the construction of these stairs in the 1870s to create access between different parts of the banking district.
The stairs combine Neo-Baroque and early Art Nouveau architectural elements, reflecting the diverse influences present in late Ottoman period Istanbul.
Located near Karakoy Tram Station, these steps provide pedestrians with a direct route to reach the Galata Tower while navigating the steep hillside.
The hexagonal shape of the stairs incorporates safety features designed to prevent children from falling while climbing between street levels.
