The Maiden?s Tower is locat…ed on a small islet in the Bosphorus, near the Asian side of Istanbul, off the coast of the district of Üsküdar. Its origins date back to antiquity. The current structure largely dates from the 18th century, following a restoration by Sultan Mahmud II. Throughout history, the tower has served as a defensive structure, lighthouse, customs station, and even as a quarantine facility.
