The exact location of the Frankish tower of the Acropolis built on the pilaster of the south wing of the Propylae.

It was built by the Franks after the crusades as they conquered Athens before it fell into the hands of the Turks and was turned into a salt warehouse and a place of imprisonment and torture.

It was finally torn down in 1874 as part of a more general strategic removal of all post-classical structures from the Acropolis rock.
