The Tower of the King, also known as the King's tower and the Tower of Turgon, was a great tower in the city of Gondolin built by King Turgon.[1]
The tower stood in the Square of the Palace in the very center of the city. During the Fall of Gondolin, it was defended by the King's household, but they were ultimately defeated and the tower thrown down. As it came crashing down, it landed on the King killing him.[2][3]
