I have to share this with you:
They called the tower as "Christea Turris", or "Tower of Christ".

My first thought was the Tower Of Babel from the Bible Source... what an awesome land mark, and even cooler that you can actually visit!! Tell me... I am curious; have you ever traveled in these tunnels you speak of? I can remember when I was in Germany in the Army... there were miles of tunnels under-ground, a lot of this was due to the use of old boiler systems, for heat and water, etcetera.. but is was crazy, seeing what I felt was like an "underground City"... file cabinets, desks, calendars on the wall. Anyway... keep up the good work... engage with us more!! Tell us more about the awesome YOU!!

This tunnel is funicular line, it is the second oldest metro of world, which was built in Ottoman times for commercial aim. Not kind of tunnel that was used in wars.

@videoaddiction,
Well... interesting none the less... certainly something to make you think about, as we are so busy in current times, wanting that new phone or car... the mindset of what the past included, with these beautiful structures is amazing... don't you think?
I agree with you. Simple but good mindset..
