Frankish towers of Greece

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Frankish towers of Greece (Greek: Φράγκικοι πύργοι) are the towers built during the period of Frankish rule in Greece (ca. 1204 – 1500), either for defence or for habitation, by the Frankish Crusaders, of which many survive to this day.
