Maiden Tower – Istanbul
Standing sentinel at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus, the Maiden Tower has witnessed centuries of history unfold.
Originally built as a revenue collection post, this ancient structure has also served as a lighthouse, quarantine center, and even a Hollywood star, famously featured in the James Bond film “The World Is Not Enough” and Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express”.
Today, visitors can explore the tower’s rich history and enjoy breathtaking views of the Bosphorus.
