This was the 4th stop of our visit to the Upper Thessaloniki City...

Unlike the sites that we saw earlier, the Triangle Tower was actually built by the Turks in the 15th century to defend against siege during that period. The Triangle Tower has also been given a beautiful name of being the “balcony of Thessaloniki” because from here, we were able to see panoramic views of the coastline of Thessaloniki, including the port, the waterfront and on a clear day, Mount Olympus in the distance.

This stretch of the wall is also one of the most well-preserved and after taking (too many) photos next to the Tower, we strolled along the walls until we arrived at a park. The wall actually divides, in our opinion, the “commercial” side with cafes and restaurants – some with sea views as well as the “residential” side where residents stay. We also noticed that on the “commercial” side of the wall, the wall is pretty well finished but we actually prefer the rugged beauty on the “residential” side. There, we found a little park with views of the wall and had our corn chips with cheese (something like cheetos) and rehydrated ourselves for the walk back down...

Easy to access from where we were (near Thessaloniki port) by bus. Straight up and only a short walk to the Triangle Tower. €5 to go up to the top but if you just want to wall around the old city walls and see the view from there it's free and still beautiful. You may just get a better view of the church from the top but otherwise you still get an excellent view of the city.

Wasn't too busy around 9am, just a few coach loads of people and some who had walked/taken the bus up. I imagine it gets a lot busier in the afternoon and in the peak of summer. Remember to wear comfortable shoes even if taking the bus as the stones can be uneven and there's a lot of steps if you choose to walk down! Walking down back to the city takes around 15 mins, not too strenuous but lots of slopes and/or steps. Totally worth visiting though! Bus fare cost...

Η άνω πόλη το πιο παλιό αυθεντικό τμήμα της Θεσσαλονίκης είναι ένα υπαίθριο μουσείο να το γνωρίσεις με τα πόδια, αρκεί να φοράς άνετα παπούτσια για να περπατήσεις στα στενά δαιδαλώδη σοκάκια και λιθόστρωτα καλντερίμια, να περάσεις από γραφικές γειτονιές, αρχοντικά και πλατείες και από Μνημεία Παγκόσμιας Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς της UNESCO. Περπατώντας δίπλα στα βυζαντινά τείχη που τ' απομεινάρια τους στέκονται ακόμη περήφανα νιώθεις να ταξιδεύεις πολύ πίσω στο χρόνο και αντιλαμβάνεσαι την αμυντική οχύρωση της πόλης. Όσοι έχουν ταξιδέψει στην Κωνσταντινούπολη αντιλαμβάνονται την παρόμοια οχύρωση και τεχνοτροπία με τα βυζαντινά τείχη που σώζονται εκεί. Εφαπτόμενος των βυζαντινών τειχών στη βορειοανατολική πλευρά τους και λίγα μέτρα από την κεντρική κύρια Πύλη των τειχών την "Πορτάρα" βρίσκεται ο "Πύργος Τριγωνίου" που κατά την Οθωμανική περίοδο ήταν γνωστός ως "Πύργος της Αλύσεως" λόγω της λίθινης διακοσμητικής ταινίας που περιβάλλει τον κορμό του σαν αλυσίδα. Σήμερα οι ντόπιοι τον αποκαλούν "Πυροβολείο". Είναι σπουδαίο οχυρωματικό έργο των Οθωμανών για την ενίσχυση της υπάρχουσας βυζαντινής οχύρωσης καθώς αυτό ήταν το σημείο που άρχισε η κατάληψη της Θεσσαλονίκης από τους Τούρκους(1430). Είναι κυκλικός και κτίστηκε τον 15ο αι. ενσωματώνοντας ένα ήδη υπάρχοντα βυζαντινό τρίγωνο πύργο που προϋπήρχε στην ίδια θέση. Κατασκευάστηκε την ίδια σχεδόν χρονική περίοδο με τον Λευκό Πύργο που κατείχε τη νοτιοανατολική άκρη του τείχους με τον οποίον και έχει εντυπωσιακές αρχιτεκτονικές και μορφολογικές ομοιότητες με εξαίρεση στον τρόπο θεμελίωσης του Πύργου Τριγωνίου εξ αιτίας της κλίσης του εδάφους. Ο χώρος μπροστά στην Πύλη του Πύργου είναι το "μπελβεντέρε" της Θεσσαλονίκης και είναι επισκέψιμος όλο το 24ωρο ενώ το εσωτερικό του Πύργου έχει συγκεκριμένες ώρες και μέρες επίσκεψης γιαυτό κι εμείς δυστυχώς δεν μπορέσαμε να επισκεφτούμε. Η πανοραμική θέα της πόλης είναι μοναδική κάθε στιγμή της ημέρας και κάθε εποχή του χρόνου. Απολαμβάνεις μια καταπληκτική αμφιθεατρική εικόνα της πόλης να αγκαλιάζει το Θερμαϊκό κόλπο και η ματιά σου ταξιδεύει στο γαλάζιο του Αιγαίου. Είναι ένα από τα πιο πολυφωτογραφημένα και πολυσύχναστα σημεία της πόλης. Ο Πύργος Τριγωνίου με τα σωζόμενα υπολείμματα των βυζαντινών τειχών στο σύνολό τους αποτελούν ένα από τα σημαντικότερα ιστορικά, αρχαιολογικά, αρχιτεκτονικά και μορφολογικά μνημεία της πόλης και αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι του πολιτισμού της γιαυτό και έχουν χαρακτηριστεί Μνημείο Παγκόσμιας Πολιτιστικής Κληρονομιάς...
