In 1658 a French Capuchin monastery was founded around the monument itself. The monastery succeeded in purchasing the monument (which was known as the 'Lantern of Diogenes') from an Ottoman resident.The monastery was demolished during the Greek war of Independence in 1821 and the monument was subsequently restored by French architects Fran+â-ºois Boulanger and E. Loviot.
