Best Answer

A Round Keep was one of the strongest castle designs. A round tower would not have any sharp corners that prevented the view of the archers. It would provide a broad view for the soldiers. There would also not be any weak corners that the enemy could tunnel under and collapse a wall. Also, a Round Tower would allow enemy missiles to bounce and slide off the smooth walls.
