Tower of Diateichisma


The Tower of Diateichisma in Troezen, dated to the 3rd century BC.

This is one of the best preserved towers I know from the Greek period. You can find some others in Messene and the Athenian fortresses Eleutheria and Aigosthena. The upper part in brick is later than the original building.
