"The Trigoniou Tower stands as the most renowned and imposing structure along the Byzantine walls of the city.
Constructed in the late 15th century as a defensive measure against potential invasions and to aid in times of siege, it represents a significant fortification project initiated by the Turkish authorities after the occupation of Thessaloniki in 1430.
The tower, named "Trigonion" due to Ioannis Anagnostou's account of enemy access points, also earned its title from the triangular cantilever of the northern city walls where the gate of Anna Palaiologina once stood.
Often referred to as the "balcony of Thessaloniki," the Trigoniou Tower offers a splendid panoramic view of the city embracing the sea.
On a clear day, the sight extends to Olympus Mountain, located 150km away, presenting an awe-inspiring vista."
