The only Roman tower still in existence in the city, the Multangular Tower, was once part of the Roman defences about the time of the 2nd or 3rd centuries AD. Later, the tower was incorporated into the city walls although this changed in the 18th century when part of the wall were removed to make way for St Leonard’s Place. There was a multangular tower at each end of the Roman wall, the other tower is now buried beneath the street occupied by Feasegate.
