In architecture, a turret (from Italian: torretta, little tower; Latin: turris, tower) is a small tower that projects from the wall of a building such as a medieval castle. Turrets were used to provide a projecting defensive position allowing covering fire to the adjacent wall in the days of military fortification. As their military use faded, turrets were adopted for decorative purposes, as in the Scottish baronial style.

A turret is a round columnar-like part of a house. Sort of like what Rapunzel used to let her hair down. You can find lots of turrets if you go on a real estate site and look at the newer homes because lots of them have turrets.

A Turret has a medieval application as well as contemporary, such as Gun Turret on a Tank. It allows weapon to rotate or swivel.

Kuivasaari coast artillery battery in front of Helsinki has a museum turret with two 12 inch (305 mm) guns in full working condition.
Most pictures on these pages were taken on a visit by the IPMS Finland to Kuivasaari in September, 1993.
