It is a landmark building in Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece. The 34 meter tall tower is located at the end of the city's seaside promenade and is one of the city's most famous landmarks. It can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire period, initially built as a defensive fortification, and later used as a prison and execution site, witnessing the suffering and history of Thessaloniki. Nowadays, the White Tower has transformed into a museum and cultural center, showcasing the history of Thessaloniki from the Ottoman Empire to modern times. The exterior walls have been painted white, symbolizing peace and rebirth, becoming a symbol of Thessaloniki's free thinking and culture.
