Maiden’s Tower (Kız Kulesi)

Maiden’s Tower (Kız Kulesi)

LEGO Model of the Maiden’s Tower in Istanbul. The Maiden’s Tower (also called Leander’s Tower or Kız Kulesi in Turkish) is a tower on a small islet on the southern entrance to the Bosphorus. The first development of the island probably took place in 408 BCE. Over the centuries island and tower were used for several purposes and many legends and myths arose around the place. This LEGO model explores the island and the tower on a small scale.
