Note
This city was only named the 'Tower of Guard' after the capture of Minas Ithil by the Nazgûl in III 2002; the city itself was much older than this - as the Tower of the Sun (Minas Anor), it had stood since the late Second Age, and was some 2,100 years old when it was renamed; for its origins and earlier history, refer to the entry for Minas Anor
