Girl-Tower is located off the coast of Salacak in Üsküdar district, at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus. It literally means "Maiden's Tower" . The name comes from a sad legend: the Byzantine emperor heard a prophecy telling him that his daughter loves so much would die at the age of 18 by a snake. So he decided to put her in this tower built on a rock on the Bosphorus isolated from the land thus no snake could kill her. In the end, however, he never survived his absolute destiny., a snake hidden in a big fruit basket brought from the city bit the princess and killed her.
Then the name of the people who used it among the people remained as the girl's ''Kız Kulesi'' tower.
