The Powder Tower in Riga, Latvia, is a historic fortification that dates back to the early 14th century. Originally part of the city's defensive system, it was later reconstructed in the 17th century. The tower got its name from being used as a gunpowder storage facility. Today, it houses part of the Latvian War Museum, where visitors can explore exhibits related to Latvia's military history.
