Zandan Tower

It was built in the early 17th century by Haci Mahmud Efendi, the mufti of Bitola, on a private homestead next to a multi-family housing block in which Turkish and Albanian residents lived.

It is accessed via a staircase leading up to the double door made of thick oak wood on the tower's south façade.

The interior is made up of three stories, with the upper floor setup as a dwelling.

Its builder, also known as Hırka Baba, lived a secluded spiritual life with his family on this homestead.
