The Maiden’s Tower is located 200 meters off the shore of the Üsküdar district on the Anatolian side of the city. The tower has gone through numerous rebuilds and restorations, and was used for many different purposes over time such as merchant men's tax collection area, defense tower, lighthouse or quarantine hospital during the cholera epidemic in 1830.
