The Tower of the King or the Tower of Turgon, was a high and powerful tower in Gondolin. In its fountain-filled gardens stood images of the Two Trees of Valinor, made by Turgon himself, called Glingal and Belthil.
During the Fall of Gondolin, the Tower was defended by the men of the king's house-hold until it was overthrown, "and great and mighty was its fall and the fall of Turgon in its ruin."
