- Cover photo description:
- The Heptapyrgion despite its name, which in both languages means `Fortress of Seven Towers`, it features ten, and was probably named after the Yedikule Fortress in Constantinople modern Istanbul, Turkey. It served as the major redoubt of the city`s acropolis, as well as the seat of its garrison commander in Ottoman times, until the late 19th century. It was then converted to a prison, which remained open until 1989. References to the infamous Yedi Kule prison abound in the Greek rebetika songs.
