The Bistis Tower (Mouvela) in Stenies, Andros is among the characteristic and recognizable symbols of the island. It was built to house and protect one of the most prominent noble families and their productive activities.

Throughout its long history, spanning over three centuries, it has been renovated, supplemented, remodeled, and modernized. Long abandoned, it now risks collapse.

As a contribution to its presence and function, the volume gathers studies that illuminate its structure and architecture. With the background of the village's economy at the time of its construction and the history of the family that inhabited it, the construction phases and functionality of its spaces are highlighted.

This is a significant contribution to the history and traditional architecture of the island.
