The Saint-Nicolas Tower, built in the 14th century, is the most imposing of the Old Port towers at 42 meters tall. A slightly tilted pentagonal fortress, it served as the city captain's residence and port defense. Its vaulted rooms and walkway offer stunning views of the Atlantic.
Chain Tower

The Chain Tower, 20 meters tall, owes its name to the heavy chain that was stretched at night between it and the Saint-Nicolas Tower to close the port. Built in the 14th century, it houses a permanent exhibition on La Rochelle's maritime history and its links to Canada, particularly New France.
