The Maiden's Tower rises from a tiny islet off Üsküdar, where the Bosphorus opens into the Sea of Marmara, and is one of Istanbul's most recognisable landmarks. Over the centuries it has served as a watchtower and lighthouse and inspired many legends.

This camera from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality shows the tower together with the busy shipping lane at the southern entrance of the strait, where commuter ferries, tankers and small boats pass constantly. On foggy mornings the tower almost disappears, while late afternoon brings the most popular sight: the sunset, followed by the tower's evening lights. Stormy days are dramatic too.

Maiden's Tower is a public live camera in Üsküdar, Istanbul. The stream is published by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. We do not broadcast or record anything ourselves: if the owner allows embedding, the stream plays here in the owner’s official player; otherwise only the owner’s own player opens in a separate window.

On this page you’ll also find the live weather for this exact location, the stream status (checked every 15 minutes) and other live cams nearby. Categories: Bridge Cams, Landmarks & Tourist Spots.
