Saint Omer Tower

The medieval Saint Omer tower rises within the archaeological museum complex, linking Frankish Thebes to the site's much longer chronology.

Our take

The medieval Saint Omer tower rises within the archaeological museum complex, linking Frankish Thebes to the site's much longer chronology.

The tower is best understood inside the museum visit, where it forms part of the exhibition rather than a separate attraction. Its survival adds a rare medieval layer to galleries dominated by ancient Boeotia. Follow staff instructions on access and photography, and do not assume the upper structure is open. Official museum hours and admission govern the visit.
