Tornallaz Tower, Aventicum

Highlight • Historical Site

The 2nd tower of the city wall from Roman times. The fact that it has been preserved in this way is probably due to the fact that it was used as a watch and message tower until the Middle Ages.
You can climb up a wooden internal staircase and enjoy the view.
