tower, fortification
The octangular defensive tower was built in the period between the eleventh and fifteenth century. The Austrians demolished the Jaksic’s Tower during the period of reconstruction of the Tower between 1717 and 1739, since they considered it to be unnecessary. In 1937, the tower got its final form after the reconstruction of the rampart and the tower itself.
