Maiden's Tower

This was the first monument I saw in Istanbul. When I went to dinner, I stayed on the Asian side, as the best view of Kiz Kulesi is from Üsküdar, on the Asian port where you take the ferry. The tower in the distance is beautiful and it is more advisable to see it at night. Legend has it that several years ago a Byzantine emperor imprisoned his daughter in this tower to protect her from harm but, in the end, a snake bit her and the princess died, so the legend came true.
