The Tour César is one of the last vestiges of Romanesque military architecture. This square keep, which today stands some 36 metres high, commanded the defences of the citadel and the bridge over the Loire.
In 1530, Cardinal de Longueville used the tower to extend his castle. The fire during the Wars of Religion and the collapse of the interior vaults in 1840 left only the skeleton of the keep.
