Heptapyrgion, Thessaloniki
Above Ano Poli's lanes, on the city's acropolis hill, stands the Heptapyrgion — the Fortress of the Seven Towers, though it has ten: the crown of Thessaloniki's Byzantine walls, rebuilt by the Ottomans as Yedi Kule and used into the twentieth century as a prison whose name still chills older Greeks. From its ramparts the whole city unrolls — the upper town's roofs, the Roman and Byzantine centre, the curve of the gulf. Ano Poli below is already in this gallery as a quarter; this is the fortress that guarded it, and the finest viewpoint in Thessaloniki.

Afternoon is partly cloudy, cloud cover about 53 percent, about 12.1°C, and dry.
