Trigonion Tower & Byzantine Walls
Πύργος Τριγωνίου
A round tower at the northeast corner of the upper town's city walls. The wall viewpoint beside it is the city's best spot for sunsets and night views.
Trigonion Tower is a 15th-century round tower at the northeast corner of the Byzantine walls, reinforced by the Ottomans. The open space beside the tower offers wide views west over the city's rooftops, the port and the Thermaic Gulf. On clear days you can see Mount Olympus in the distance, which makes it the locals' favorite spot for watching the sunset. From here, a path outside the walls leads down to surviving sections of the wall. Admission is free, and it is open all day.
