The White Tower of Thessaloniki, a historical monument and museum, stands as a symbol of the city. Originally constructed by the Ottomans in the 15th century, it has a tumultuous history, serving as a fortress, garrison, and prison. The tower was famously known as the "Tower of Blood" due to mass executions. Today, it houses a museum dedicated to Thessaloniki's history. Visitors can explore its six floors and enjoy panoramic views from the turret. It is located on the waterfront and is a must-visit attraction. The tower is open daily, with an admission fee that grants access to its exhibitions.
