👍 This tower is close to the Place de la Palud. It dates from the 14th century and it used to be part of the city walls which no longer exist.

    This tower is close to the Place de la Palud. It dates from the 14th century and it used to be part of the city walls which no longer exist. It was closed (apparently it always is, therefore you can only take photos from the outside). If you catch métro line 2 all the way to the "M.Béjart" stop you can reach this tower in 10-15 minutes.

    Ale kulesi, Lozan'ın ortaçağ surlarının son önemli kalıntısıdır. Çatıya kadar 21 metre yüksekliğinde ve 8 metre çapındaki boyutlarında, şehrin en göz alıcı yapilardan biridir. 1340 yılında inşa edilen Ale Kulesi, Porte de Saint-Laurent'in önünde uzanan surların dışında bir bölge olan Faubourg de l'Ale'yi savunmak amaçlı yapılmıştır.. Aynı zamanda bir zindan, yani bağımsız olarak işlev görebilen müstahkem bir sığınak olarak tasarlanmıştır. Savunma sistemi özellikle tabanda yaklaşık 2 metre kalın duvarlara, yükseltilmiş bir girişe, sayısı kattan kata artan yasal mazgallara (zemin katta iki, birinci katta üç, ikincide dört, üçüncüde beş) sahiptir. Ortaçağ surlarının geri kalanıyla birlikte, kule 18. yy da kullanılmaz hale geldi .1890'da belediye yetkililerinden çıkan bir yıkım projesi, halkın muhalefeti ve mirası koruma çevrelerinin tepkisi ile karşılaştı . Kule nihayet 1900'de tarihi anıt olarak kabul edildi ve 1903'te restore edilecek.

    (Translated by Google) A vestige of the ancient fortifications of the city during the middle ages. It denotes a little in the neighborhood but it is nice that it has been preserved as a witness of the past. (Original) Un vestige des anciennes fortifications de la ville durant le moyen-age. Elle dénote un peu dans le quartier mais c'est appréciable qu'elle ait été conservée comme témoin du passé.

    Had a hard time translating the French, so a lot of the history was lost on me, but was still fun to see something this old.

    (Translated by Google) Testimony of a great past is the Tower located in the historic center of Lausanne. Dating back to 1340, it cannot be visited inside because it is not in a good state of conservation. It is 700 years old after all ..... (Original) Testimonianza di un grande passato la Torre sita in pieno centro storico di Losanna. Risalente al 1340 non è visitabile all'interno perché non si trova in buono stato di conservazione. Dopotutto ha 700 anni.....
