Oh, this old thing? Why it's just the local 13th century monument down the street. What, you don't have one?
Below is the explanatory text for this monument, which explains that it was used as 'tower of beheading', where the severed heads of thieves were displayed on spear through its 225 holes, to act as a deterrent to thieves. Actually, what the text literally says is that "it was built to strike terror to the thieves by placing their severed heads in these holes for public exposure."
I don't know about you guys, but if my severed head were placed in a hole for public exposure it would definitely freak me out.
And in case you were wondering what a 13th century tower of beheading is used for today, I give you the below--the kids on the right are in the middle of an intense cricket game.
