Türkiye’s Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu announced that Istanbul’s Çamlıca Tower has hosted approximately 2.3 million visitors since its inauguration by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 29, 2021.

Standing at 587 meters above sea level, the tulip-shaped tower is the tallest structure in Istanbul and combines architecture, technology, and visitor experience. It includes 49 floors with observation decks, restaurants, and interactive exhibits showcasing Istanbul’s landmarks.

Uraloğlu emphasized the tower’s role in broadcasting, currently supporting 100 FM channels, 16 analog TV, and 15 DAB+ stations, along with services for GSM and public institutions. He noted that Çamlıca Tower has significantly reduced electromagnetic emissions in the area, lowering levels from 39 to 2.5 Volts/meter—well below EU safety standards.
