Towers of La Rochelle

The Towers of La Rochelle are three medieval towers on the Vieux-Port. The Tour Saint-Nicolas and the Tour de la Chaîne, both from the 14th century, guard the harbour entrance, which a chain stretched between them could close. The Tour de la Lanterne, completed in 1468, served as a lighthouse and a prison, and holds more than 600 graffiti carved by prisoners.
