Fodor's Review:
You won't find much to do here, other than appreciate the open space—the campus, with its long greensward and giant plane trees, originally served as the Ottoman war ministry, which accounts for the magnificent gateway arch facing Beyazit Square and the grandiose, martial style of the main buildings. In the garden is the white-marble 200-foot Beyazit Tower, the tallest structure in Old Stamboul, built in 1823 by Mahmut II (ruled 1808-39) as a fire-watch station, although you can no longer ascend.
