| The Heptapyrgion, modern Eptapyrgio, also popularly known by its Ottoman Turkish name Yedi Kule, is a Byzantine and Ottoman-era fortress situated on the north-eastern corner of the Acropolis of Thessaloniki in Greece. Despite its name, which in both languages means `Fortress of Seven Towers`, it features ten, and was probably named after the Yedikule Fortress in Constantinople. |
