3D Model

This kind of use is reflected in the type of openings located at the top of the tower that could allow throwing stones and shot arrows. The tower allowed to stock up projectiles at the lower levels and to launch them to the enemy from the higher levels. In addition to defensive function, towers could also be use as storage areas, on the ground floor, as well as warehouse on the upper levels.
