There are two important Venetian towers in Naxos Halki: the Barozzi-Gratsia Tower, located near the Church of Panagia Protothroni, a typical three-story structure with strong reinforcements and a portcullis, and the Bazeos Tower (or Bazeos Tower Complex), a larger, tower-like structure in the Agia Valley that originally served as a monastery. Both are testaments to Venetian rule on Naxos and are of interest to visitors.
