Phoenix Tower stands at the northeast corner of the city walls in Chester, England.

In the Civil War, during the Siege of Chester in 1645, the tower had a gun in each storey, and it was damaged in the conflict.

[1] The historian Simon Ward has expressed doubts about this and has suggested that the king may have stood instead on a tower of Chester Cathedral, which he considers is confirmed by evidence that a captain standing beside him was killed by a stray shot.

By this time, the city was promoting it as a tourist attraction because of its reputed connection with King Charles.

The top of the tower has a battlemented parapet, lead hip roofs and an ornate weathervane.
