Shape and details
This tower is not functional and architecturally different from the tower of sulfur, but it consists of two layers, reaching them through a small and simple western entrance, leading to a broken and rectangular corridor that covered with a roof like a semi-barrel vault.The walls of the first layer characterized as a huge wall, to be suit with the northern, eastern and southern walls, as they form sections of the wall of Jerusalem.
There is a small hall resembling the Iwan within this layer covered with a crossbow.
A stone staircase leading to the entrance leads to the second layer, and there is an upper passageway leading to the city wall itself, shared by the roundabout around the city.
