The Tower of Kolitsou from Mount Athos was initially built in the 12th or the 13th century as part of the old monastery of Kaletzi. The monastery was founded by members of the noble family of Kaletzi from Mani. In the 14th century, the tower was reconstructed and granted to the Vatopedi Monastery. This, most probably, happened in 1341 and was a decision of the Byzantine emperor Ioannis VI Kantakouzenos who had visited Vatopedi that year.
