- White Tower of Thessaloniki - The White Tower is a monument and museum located on the waterfront of Thessaloniki, the capital of the Macedonia region in northern Greece. The current tower replaced an old Byzantine fortification, mentioned around the 12th century, which the Ottoman Empire reconstructed to strengthen the city’s fortress after Sultan Murad II captured Thessaloniki in 1430. During Ottoman rule, the tower became a notorious prison and the site of numerous mass executions, most notably of the Janissaries who revolted during the reign of Mahmud II. In 1912, when Greece gained control of the city, the White Tower was extensively remodeled and its exterior was whitewashed. The White Tower has since become the symbol of the city.
