Tour du coin
The tour du coin ("tower of the corner") is one of the main towers of the ancient wall of Philippe Auguste in Paris, built between 1190 and 1209.
==The towers of the corner==
The corners of a medieval fortress were weak points because they were easier to attack and hard to defend than the rest of the walls. Additionally, enemies who reached the top of the walls at the corners were protected at the point where the walls met, making it more difficult to repulse them. Therefore, towers at these corners had to be well defended in order to counteract their extra vulnerability. Because of this, they were built larger and taller than other towers. At the bottom of these towers, there were wider ditches, fences, and sometimes advanced forts or bastions.

Other "tours du coin" are found in the city of Carcassonne, in the castle of Pierrefonds and the fortress of the Bastille.
