The plain façade and crenellated coping are evidence in themselves that the tower’s builders preferred to take control of their own safety. The ancient city wall was indeed largely destroyed, while the medieval city wall was never fully completed – a good enough reason to show off one’s own defensiveness with small windows and robust walls. In addition, the front door was located on the first floor of the eastern side, and was only accessible via a fold-up wooden staircase. In the event of an attack, uninvited guests would thus find themselves facing a solid wall, with no way of getting in. A door was only fitted on the ground floor in the 19th century. And thank goodness it was, for the tower can today be hired as an events venue. It doesn’t bear thinking about the potential injuries that could have resulted without the modern fittings.
