AI overview
A tower is a tall, narrow structure that rises high above the ground, built for purposes like communication (as seen in modern examples like Tokyo Skytree), defense, or other functions across different time periods and civilizations. Towers matter because they have served important roles throughout human history, from ancient Roman fortifications to contemporary landmarks that define city skylines.
