The upper part of the octagon shaped tower rests on pillars and it's wider than the lower part of it. Here you can find the pouring holes, the keyhole shaped openings were especially made for firearms. Stones make up the first meter of the tower, the rest is brick. It is possible that this tower is the continuation of an older tower.
