Queen's Tower, Gothic Revival villa in Ilion Municipality, Greece.

The Queen's Tower features a neogothic architectural design with ramparts, smaller towers, and wooden floors made from various wood types.

King Otto constructed this estate in 1854 for Queen Amalia, who established a model agricultural facility covering 2500 acres with vineyards.

The villa now functions as an educational center through Organization Earth, focusing on environmental awareness and sustainable practices.

The second floor maintains its original high-quality parquet flooring, requiring visitors to remove their shoes before entering.
