Thessaloniki Castles and Sieges

65,00

The city of Thessaloniki was for several centuries the second-most important city of the Byzantine Empire. Due to its location and importance several enemies attempted to conquer the city, from the Roman times to 1430 AD, when it was conquered by the Ottomans. We begin our tour by climbing in the White Tower to get an impressive overview of the city. Then we walk through the city to the Eptapyrgio, where we are introduced to the fortifications system and the sieges across the centuries.
