Thessaloniki’s Iconic Landmark: OCC at the White Tower
Owensboro Christian Church family stops for a group shot at the "White Tower" in Thessaloniki, Greece.
There’s no better way to kick off a journey through Northern Greece than at the most famous landmark in Thessaloniki. This week, our Owensboro Christian Church group gathered at the foot of the White Tower, the historic heart of the city’s waterfront.
A Tower with a Story
Originally a Byzantine fortification and later a notorious Ottoman prison, the White Tower has been "whitewashed" of its dark past to become a symbol of Greek liberty. Standing six stories tall against the deep blue of the Thermaic Gulf, it’s a stunning reminder of the layers of history—Byzantine, Ottoman, and Modern—that make Thessaloniki so unique.
