The hill is a popular visitor attraction withOttoman-themed teahouses, cafes and a restaurant inside a public park with monumental trees, flower gardens and fountains, run by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.[3]
On completion in 2019,Çamlıca Mosque became the largest mosque in Asia Minor, able to accommodate 63,000 people and incorporating a museum, art gallery, library, conference hall and underground parking lot.[4]
Prior to 2021 numerousradio masts and towers (such asÇamlıca TRT Television Tower) occupied much of the available land on the hill.[5] TheTurkish Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure decided to consolidate all the broadcasting facilities to a single tower freeing up much of the land on the hill. The new tower is 369 m (1,211 ft) high and includes observation decks and restaurants.Çamlıca Tower (Turkish:Çamlıca Kulesi) was inaugurated on May 29, 2021.[6]
