The Tower of the Winds is located in the Roman Agora of Athens, between the Plaka and Monastiraki neighborhoods. It is a 12-meter-high structure with an octagonal shape and a diameter of 8 meters. It was created from Pentelic marble by the Greek astronomer Andronicus of Cyrrhus, probably around 50 BC. In ancient times, this tower had many uses. It was originally designed as a sundial to estimate time based on the position of the Sun. It was also used to indicate the weather and predict the weather.→
