Hi Bernard The tower was a circular construction with a depression in the middle. It was built by the parsee who disposed of the dead by exposure to the open to be eaten by birds, mainly vultures. I have somewere a photo of the inside. Regards David

Bernard, you may think it's disgusting but they obviously don't. We're all different. That's what makes the world such an interesting place.
