Marianna's Tower 28min, Panagiotis Vekris, Greece
The Marianna's Tower - one of the surviving tower
houses of the rural countryside of Lesvos -
a rare example of folk architecture, still
stands haughtily, belted by the wear and tear
of abandonment and time.
Three visits to the Tower highlight issues
of memory and management of the cultural heritage of
the place.
Through the eyes of visitors, the Tower emerges as
a symbol around which multiple meanings are
organized for home, kinship, manifestations of
sociability, friendship, death and
ultimately life itself.
