Tower of the Winds Review

The wind tower of Athens' historical site is also a place worth visiting. The tall stone tower still retains the original form. The surrounding annexes have been eroded and destroyed. The management of the whole area is also more classic and worth visiting.

Vitruvius's Ten Books of Architecture states that Andronicus of Kurstens set up an octagonal marble tower in Athens, and carved eight statues on each side of the octagonal surface according to the wind current itself to indicate the direction of the wind. The tower is made of marble cones, placed with the right hand stick and the outstretched bronze sea god, the pole with the wind as a high weather vane.

The Wind Tower is an ancient building, an architectural feature of the ancient Egyptian civilization, it seems to be the feeling of a water tower, a tall building independent, there are many broken walls around, and there are more weeds. It is a forgotten place.

The Wind Tower, the ancient market in Athens and the Hadrian Library are in the same place. They are supposed to be weather detectors. There are introductions beside them, but they can't understand. The Wind Tower is a special building in Athens. The octagonal marble bell tower is very beautiful. It also has sundials, water clocks and wind vanes. It is very delicate. It is hard to imagine that these bell towers have a history of more than a thousand years.

The Athenian Wind Tower is located at the foot of the famous Acropolis, but the height of the tower is not very high, about 3 floors high. It feels more like a post booth. But the carvings on the top of the tower are very exquisite, all are some long Greek mythological stories, it is worth watching.
