I'm trying to add a menu in the back end office of Prestashop 1.6 that allows the admin to add some image in order to be displayed in a specific category , I need to upload an image to the server How I can set up this functionality safely using some Prestashop internal functions

not an easy task, I will recommend create a module for doing this otherwise you will need to modify system files of prestashop and you will hook yourself with old version of Prestashop. Its not the complete answer for your question but it may at least point you to the right direction.
here is simple tutorial how to make module
http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Creating+a+first+module
and more specific one for the backend
http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS16/Creating+a+Dashboard+Module
basically use modules to extend any functionality in prestashop to keep it easy to maintain
you may also find necessary to hook your module into prestashop Hooks so you will need to read about them as well

Another approach less portable is to override categories here is tutorial how to do it in Ps 1.6 http://nemops.com/prestashop-categories-second-image/
