Tips

In addition to the four gates, the city wall also had two corner towers, the southwestern one being the Thieves' Tower. The name comes from the fact that the lowest floor (dungeon) was where serious criminals such as thieves, murderers and "other embarrassing defendants" were kept.

It once served as a prison tower, where minor offenders and thieves were imprisoned—hence its name. With its thick walls, small window, and location near the city wall, it speaks of the jurisprudence and order of bygone times.
