The building was a tobacco factory the main buildings of the university are beautiful renovations of the factory buildings with open spaces and yes interior gardens, with birds!
I teach on the fourth floor this is the view from my classroom window looking back to the Galata tower. ( and my neighborhood)
My walk home, I took the Galata bridge, the underside is a pedestrian walk way with restaurants, as I look back at Suleymaniye mosque at sunset, you see the fishing lines from hanging down from the deck above.
