A Siege Tower is a tall, mobile structure used in ancient warfare to help soldiers breach fortified walls. Typically made of wood, it was designed to protect attackers as they approached enemy fortifications. The tower often featured a ramp or ladder that allowed troops to climb to the top and launch assaults from a higher vantage point. Siege towers were commonly used during the Middle Ages, especially in battles involving castles and city walls. They were part of a broader category of siege equipment, which included other devices like battering rams and catapults, aimed at overcoming defensive structures.
