ANCIENT TOWERS IN SIFNOS
Fifty
five ancient towers are situated dotted all over the island. They are all round
and they have been built between 6th and the 3rd century
B.C., as it is proven by the shards of ancient pots that have been found in the
areas of the towers, as well as by their size and their building type. The
findings also prove that the towers had ad least two levels with internal
separating walls. Most of them are barely visible.
In
524 Samian fugitives come to Sifnos; they are political opponents of the shrewd
tyrant of Samos, Polycrates, and ask from the
residents of Sifnos to help them economically by giving them 10 talents. The
residents of Sifnos refuse to give them the money and the Samians make them
give them the enormous amount of 100 talents by besieging and pillaging the
island. That is when the decadence of Sifnos starts. The towers have been built
after the invasion of the Samians in order to send signals to the ancient
citadels.
Later
on, the network has been developed and the signals exchanging system has been
spread all over the island. The new communication method, according to
Thucydides, must have been fire and smoke.
Later
on, the towers have been used as protective buildings for the women and
children and had full agricultural equipment, reservoirs, storehouses, while
the stronger ones have been used to push back the pirates.
The White Tower
(Aspros Pyrgos), which is situated next to the street that leads to Platis
Gialos, is maintained in a good condition.
Also
visit the Tower
of Katavati (400 B.C.),
which is situated in the location “Kade”, on the road to Vathi
