Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Heptapyrgion (Medieval Greek: Ἑπταπύργιον, [heptaˈpyrgion]), modern Eptapyrgio (Greek: Επταπύργιο, [eptaˈpirʝio]), also popularly known by its Ottoman Turkish name Yedi Kule (Γεντί Κουλέ), is a Byzantine and Ottoman-era fortress situated on the north-eastern corner of the Acropolis of Thessaloniki in Greece. Despite its name, which in both languages means "Fortress of Seven Towers", it features ten, and was probably named after the Yedikule Fortress in Constantinople (modern Istanbul, Turkey). It served as the major redoubt of the city's acropolis, as well as the seat of its garrison commander in Ottoman times, until the late 19th century. It was then converted to a prison (Φυλακές Επταπυργίου), which remained open until 1989. References to the infamous Yedi Kule prison abound in the Greek rebetika songs. Restoration and archaeological work began in the 1970s and continues to this day.

Summary from Ελληνικά / Modern Greek Wikipedia (elwiki)

Το Φρούριο του Επταπυργίου, γνωστό και με την οθωμανική ονομασία Γεντί Κουλέ (Yedi Kule), βρίσκεται στο βορειοανατολικό άκρο των τειχών της Θεσσαλονίκης, εντός της Ακρόπολης. Αποτελείται από δύο ενότητες: το βυζαντινό φρούριο, το οποίο συνθέτουν δέκα πύργοι, καθώς και τα νεότερα κτίσματα των φυλακών, που έχουν κτιστεί εντός κι εκτός του φρουρίου. Οι πύργοι της βόρειας πλευράς αποτελούν τμήματα του παλαιοχριστιανικού τείχους της Ακρόπολης, ενώ αυτοί της νότιας προστέθηκαν πιθανότατα κατά τους μεσοβυζαντινούς χρόνους, σχηματίζοντας τον κλειστό πυρήνα του φρουρίου.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

L'Heptapyrgion (en grec moderne : Επταπύργιο, littéralement « le fort à sept tours »), aussi connu sous le nom turc de Yedi Kule (même sens), est une forteresse byzantine et ottomane située à l'extrémité nord-est de l'acropole de Thessalonique. Bien que pourvu de dix tours et non de sept, il est ainsi nommé probablement en référence à la forteresse similaire, et légèrement postérieure, située à l'extrémité sud du rempart terrestre de Constantinople.
