The White Tower stands as the enduring symbol of Thessaloniki, a cylindrical Ottoman fortification built in the 15th century. Visitors can climb to the top for panoramic views of the Thermaic Gulf and the city. Inside, the museum traces the city's history from Byzantine times to the modern era, with exhibits on daily life, commerce, and significant events. The tower's stark white exterior and seaside location make it a must-see landmark.
