Wall Watchtowers

Wall watchtowers are security structures built into the walls of forts, castles, or city defenses. They serve as elevated vantage points, allowing guards to observe approaching enemies or threats from a distance. By providing a broad line of sight, watchtowers help prevent surprise attacks and coordinate defensive responses. Typically positioned at strategic locations along walls or gates, these towers are often equipped with windows or openings for surveillance and sometimes with defensive features like battlements or arrow slits to allow defenders to fire upon attackers while remaining protected.
