Chełm, a city located in the south-east of Poland, near the border with Ukraine, was a center of the Halych-Wolynia principality, founded after the fall of Kievan Rus. The period of maximum development of the city falls on the times of Daniel Romanovich (1204- 1264), crowned in 1253 by Pope Innocent IV and recognized as the king of Ruthenia. The city, completely rebuilt by Daniele, became in the 40s of the 13th century not only his residence, but also the non-formal capital of the principality. A peculiarity of Chełm and its surroundings are the remains of four medieval towers built of stone. Each of them is characterized by a similar shape, construction material and chronology. But there are also characteristics that differentiate the aforementioned towers.
