Heptapyrgion of Thessaloniki

Monument Heptapyrgion, also popularly known by its Ottoman name as Yedi Kule. It is a Byzantine and Ottoman-era fortress situated on the acropolis of Thessaloniki in Ano Poli and was probably named after the Yedikule Fortress in Constantinople. It served as the major redoubt of the city’s acropolis, as well as the seat of its garrison commander in Ottoman times, until the late 19th century. It was then converted to a prison, which remained open until 1989. Restoration and archaeological work began in the 1970s and continues to this day.The fortress has towered over the city of Thessaloniki, Greece, for over 1,000 years. It was first constructed during the Byzantine era (330 AD to 1453 AD), although this most recent version was rebuilt by the Ottomans after they conquered the city in the 1400s. It goes by a few names: Heptapyrgion, Eptapyrgio, and Yedi Kule, all of which mean “Fortress of Seven Towers.” It’s a bit of a misnomer, though, as the fortress actually has 10 towers.
