Tscheligi Tower is the only preserved tower on the northern side of the old city wall. It is also among the best preserved medieval towers in Slovenia.
Thsceligi Tower has had various names through time. It was called the Torture Tower after the torture chamber inside, and the Black Tower after the days when a company called Talis stored coal inside it. The name Tscheligi Tower comes from a famous 18th century brewery that stored beer in the tower.
