Turrets

Turrets are elevated structures, often found in castles, forts, or military installations, designed for defense or observation. They typically feature a cylindrical shape and can be equipped with windows or openings for weapons, allowing defenders to see and protect areas from above. In modern contexts, turrets can also refer to rotating weapons mounts on vehicles or naval ships, enabling them to aim and fire without moving the entire platform. Overall, turrets serve to enhance both visibility and security in various architectural and military designs.
