The girl's tower in Turkish is called Kiz Kölsi, and it is actually a small tower located in the Bosphorus Strait at the Asian side of Istanbul in the Uskudar-Salçık region, but the many stories that circulate around it are what made it famous.

If you want to satisfy your curiosity, you must travel there and discover it yourself, and ask about the story of this lighthouse that guards the Bosphorus Strait, and then you will find many stories, tales and legends.

There is no specific date for the construction of this tower, but it is said that its construction was by order of one of the kings in pre-Christmas times, who the astrologers told him that his only daughter would die of a snake bite, so he believed that and built for his daughter a castle in the middle of the sea to protect her, and there she lived alone and became ill until She died from the bite of a snake that had slipped through the grape-pick that had been sent to him.
