Copernicus Tower
At the northwestern corner of the Cathedral Hill complex is the 14th-century Copernicus Tower. It's believed that the astronomer took some of his observations from here, and the top floor is set up to re-create his study; if he'd looked down, he could also have seen his own house, which was just across the road. At the time of research the tower was indefinitely closed to visitors; check with the ticket office to see if it's open when you arrive.
