The area is considered<br />
as one of the most privileged<br />
places downtown on account<br />
of its proximity to the beach;<br />
it is traditionally regarded as<br />
the residential area of the<br />
well-to-do. There are many<br />
well-known shops here, green<br />
spots, as well as some of the<br />
most important museums<br />
and cultural institutions.<br />

1.1 The White Tower.<br />
This is the city’s most<br />
famous landmark -<br />
monument. It was probably<br />
built in the late 15 th c. on<br />
the location where the city’s<br />
eastern and seaside walls<br />
meet; it is also believed that<br />
a tower existed there<br />
in Venetian times. It is<br />
a round six-storey construction,<br />
rising 33.90 m. high, and<br />
measuring 22.70 m. in<br />
diameter; it was surrounded<br />
by fortifications until the early<br />
20 th c. Over time, it acquired<br />

c. it was called Tower of the<br />
Janissaries or Blood Tower<br />
as it served as jail for<br />
prisoners on death row<br />
whose life was eventually<br />
taken by the Janissaries on<br />
the ramparts. In 1890 it was<br />
painted white thus acquiring<br />
its current name. A particularly<br />
interesting exhibition is held<br />

Byzantine ramparts still stands<br />
on Filikis Etaireias Street which<br />
AGIOS THERAPON<br />
runs parallel to Ethnikis Amynis<br />

Street. Until 1912 TOUMPA it was called<br />
Hamidiye Boulevard, in honour<br />
of the Sultan Abdul Hamid<br />
