| The highest of the towers was the Tower. It differed from other towers in a number of features: it had a larger diameter, there was a huge niche inside, there was no exit inside the fortress on the lower tier.
The most interesting feature of the tower was that at its base there was a small arched passage, which served for unexpected forays into the enemy. The distinctive feature of Vyshka was given by two decorative crosses made of limestone outside the tower. |
