The Tower of Prosforiou

The Tower of Prosforiou of Ouranoupolis is located on the south-east edge of the village. It is believed that already existed in 1344, but rather is older and probably was built in the place of an older facility. 
Here was hosted, in May 1379, the "Bishop" (King) of Thessaloniki, Ioannis Paleologos, and during his stay here, he had absolved the tower of the tax obligations.

At the earthquake of 1585 it suffered serious damages so there were extensive repairing works. Afterwards, and in August 1858, it began again some extensive repairing work, giving its final form that we see up today.
To Byzantine tower belongs the whole lower part of the stone building, except the two last floors. The two last floors, as well as one more that was ruined, are dated back to the Ottoman domination, probably afterwards the earthquake of 1585.
