Maiden's Tower

Maiden's Tower makes views and history tangible: the small tower occupies an islet just off Üsküdar at the Bosphorus entrance. The mostly indoor setting at Maiden's Tower controls the time Maiden's Tower deserves.

The relationship at Maiden's Tower between the small tower occupies an islet just off Üsküdar at the Bosphorus entrance and layers of customs, defense and lighthouse use sit beneath its many legends gives Maiden's Tower a distinct place in a selective Istanbul day.
