There are many stories that have been told about the story of the Girl's Tower (Kız Kulesi), which is immersed in the sea on the coast of the Asian side of the Turkish city of Istanbul, but this charming tower with its beauty still shines between myth and reality.
But we will tell you the most famous tales about its construction, which are mentioned by the official Turkish sources, which is that there was a sultan who loved his daughter very much, and he had a dream, which was that on her 18th birthday she would be bitten by a snake and take her life.
As soon as he woke up, he removed his daughter from dry land to protect her. He blocked part of the Bosphorus, and built a tower for her in the middle of the strait, to protect her from any snake.
The Sultan's daughter received a gift, a basket full of fruit, in which was hiding a snake that crept into her and bit the girl and killed her.
Because of her father's grief over her, the place was named "The Girl's Tower", so that visitors to the tower would remember the lesson from this story that there is no escape from God's judgment.
