Why does Rochester castle have one round tower?
A Rochester castle has one round tower because when John 1st tried to capture it from the rebel barons he built a mine and destroyed one of the towers in order to get it back. He did get it back in the end and by this time engineers had realized that round towers had more strength then square ones because an old medieval tactic was to dig out the four corners of a square tower and it would collapse but with a circular tower there where no corners to dig out.

Why did castles have square towers?
The towers on early castles were square until it was realised that incoming projectiles, rocks from catapults and cannon balls did considerable damage where ever they hit the towers. To reduce the damage it was reasoned that round towers would only suffer major damage if struck in the middle. Shot striking off-centre would have some of the force, and hopefully the ball or rock, deflected. This turned out to be the case.

Why radar towers are round?
Radar towers are often designed to be round in order to minimize wind resistance and reduce the possibility of wind-induced vibration or structural stress on the tower. The rounded shape also helps to evenly distribute forces from different directions, making the tower more stable and structurally sound. Additionally, a round shape allows for easier installation of radar equipment and antennas at various heights around the tower.
