The history of the Maiden's Tower dates back to BC. When we look at the historical evidence, we see that the tower was first mentioned in 410 BC. The tower, built by the Athenian Alcibiades, was used to control the ships passing through the Bosphorus and to collect taxes. After Istanbul came under Roman domination, Byzantine Emperor Manuel Komnenos (Manuil I) strengthened the building with stones and designed it as a complete tower and turned it into a defense building. The tower, which was restored once again during the Ottoman period, was the scene of the performances of the mehter team. This tower, which was destroyed and restored many times throughout its history, serves as a cafe, museum and restaurant that can be visited in Salacak in Üsküdar today.
