Reginald's Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

The first step in the discovery of the city in chronological order, this tower was erected in 1013 by the Vikings. Later transformed by the Normans, it is three stories high and has successively served as an observation post, watchtower, fortress, mint, and prison. It houses archaeological collections related to the Viking heritage through objects discovered during excavations in the area, such as coins, utensils, and jewelry, including a magnificent diamond brooch from the 12th century.
