The Tower of Anthousa has a square floor plan and is known by the Turkish name "Koula". It is located on the slope of Ymitos near the monastery of Asteri in Anthousa, Attica
The history of the tower is not known. There is no information on when it was built. He is certainly not Byzantine and probably not Frankish. His style is reminiscent of the Ottoman period. This version is also supported by the name "Kula".
It was probably one of the many Turkish kouledes built by the Turks until the 18th century throughout Greece, either to supervise their tsifliki or for the residence of agades or to serve military purposes.
The tower has been reported in ruins since 1722.

Nice find,   must have taken them ages to build that back in the day.

Looks very good!

Beautiful views.    Too bad the history of the old tower was never recorded.  Does look like it is in the style of the Ottoman era.

A remarkable structure. Nice scenes.

Thanks for sharing.

Good morning Thank you very much. Yes, from the few walls that exist, they say that it can be an extra building during the Turkish occupation to overshadow the historical value of the buildings that exist at the bottom of the mountain, a monastery and ancient finds. watch video in the addresses I give you. Have a wonderful day and have a Merry Christmas

Thank you very much for your time. Yes. It was one of the first videos I made when I started the channel. I'm thinking of videotaping the same points again with my new equipment.

You're very welcome.  

Re-filming them again with your new equipment sounds like a good project to undertake as your time permits.  

Happy Holidays!

Nice find .
