Built in 1744, Poulcheria is a square stone tower that stands as a compact reminder of Ottoman-era Greece. Structures like this served practical purposes in the countryside, whether as defensive lookouts watching over the surrounding land or as rural residences for local landowners. Its solid masonry and simple, blocky form reflect the needs of a period when the landscape was dotted with similar towers. The recorded date gives this one a precise anchor in the long centuries of Ottoman administration, when such buildings shaped how people lived and watched over the land.
