The Maiden’s Tower, one of the most well-known structures in Istanbul, is known as a structure that fascinates both local and foreign people with its stories and scenery. The Tower, which has thousands of years of history, last year, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced that a restoration work would be initiated to renew the wooden skeleton of the tower.
A new claim has been made about the Maiden’s Tower, which has been out of sight since the beginning of the works. Some users on social media claimed that the historical Maiden’s Tower was destroyed during the restoration work and that this situation was hidden from the citizens. We will continue to keep you informed in case of statements and developments from the authorities.
The tower is not visible through the shroud outside the pier
After this claim spread rapidly on social media, many photos of the Maiden’s Tower under restoration began to be shared. In the photos, it was seen that the light coming from the opposite angle was passing through the cover of the pier and the tower was missing. Many people claimed that this was due to the collapse of the tower and that the restoration company hid it.
However, contrary to what is known, tower restorations are quite difficult and there are different methods. Sometimes, in some tower restorations, since the main skeleton needs to be changed, the tower is completely disassembled and the inner skeleton is completely repaired and replaced, and the tower is rebuilt in accordance with the original.
It was announced that the inner skeleton of the Maiden’s Tower would also change, and according to some experts, the reason why the tower is not visible is that the inner skeleton of the Maiden’s Tower was completely rebuilt and therefore the tower was dismantled.
Statements from authorities
Making a statement on the subject, Üsküdar Mayor Hilmi Türkmen said, “The restoration continues without any problems. No problem. Don’t believe every picture you see.” said.
Mahir Polat, Secretary General of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, made a statement on the subject, “We have very valuable teachers in the Ministry of Culture Maiden’s Tower Restoration.

Our authorized friends will also make a statement about the project. ” said.
