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.

Interesting. Nice flying, as usual for you. Looks like there was once another structure next door, at least it looks there's a foundation there.

Interesting place to put a tower. From your flight, it doesn't look like there was anything else there. Too bad it lacks a historical timeline.

good morning. thank you very much. which down on the mountain is a monastery. is from the Byzantine years. It is probable that the tower was created by the Turks to overshadow the historical value of the Christian building.
