O
Rýchle fakty: Týči sa 33,9 metrov na pobrežnej triede v Solúne a má priemer 23 metrov na svojej základni. Bola postavená v 16. storočí ako súčasť opevnenia a neskôr získala svoju charakteristickú bielu farbu v roku 1912.
Zaujímavosti: Biely náter nebol vždy prítomný. Osmani ju nechali obieliť po chýrech, že bola používaná ako väzenie a miesto mučenia. Keď bolo mesto v roku 1912 oslobodené, grécky robotník ju symbolicky natrel na bielo, aby vymazal jej temnú minulosť.
Insiderské tipy
- Go up the spiral staircase on foot: it has 96 steps and on each floor there are exhibits about the history of the city.
- The best spot for a photo is from the south side of the coastal promenade, when the tower is lit golden at sunset.
- Avoid midday in July and August: the queue in the heat is long and there is no shade.
- Spend 10 minutes exploring the surrounding area: there are old Ottoman cannons and a small outdoor exhibition.
