Cylindrical tower designed to withstand the first cannons, with walls of varying thickness and a height of around 15 m.
Guarding the western entrance to the walled city, this cylindrical tower (Medvjed Kula) was built just before the fall of the kingdom of Bosnia, between 1448 and 1463, and designed to resist the first cannons. The thickness of its walls varies from 4.70 to 6 m for a diameter of 5.70 to 8.14 m and a height of about 15 m today. It is the power that emanates from it that gives the building its name. But another version proposed to the visitors wants that condemned bears were locked up there. This is unlikely, although animal trials were sometimes held in the Middle Ages.
