The Tower of Druaga as seen in The Blue Crystal Rod.
The Tower of Druaga (ドルアーガの塔) is a large tower with 60 floors that the Sumer Empire built northwest of Babylim to take the Blue Crystal Rod in the sky. The god Anu struck a lightning in the tower as soon as it was completed, destroying the tower and many Sumerian soldiers. However, the demon Druaga reconstructed the tower with his power, taking over both the tower and the Blue Crystal Rod, and began to rule over the land.

In the anime[]
The Tower in Jil's dream in the anime
In the anime, the Tower of Druaga was recreated several years ago after Gil defeated Druaga.
The tower is bigger than the original, and is divided in 8 shrines, from bottom to top: Tin (錫), Lead (鉛), Iron (鉄), Bronze (青銅), Silver (白銀), Gold (黄金), Diamond (金剛), and Sky (天空).
Each of them also has areas called gardens, like the Camel Garden in the Tin Shrine and the Ram Garden in the Iron Shrine. A city called Meskia was built in the bottom of the tower. Once in a while the magic of the tower is weakened during a period called the "Summer of Anu", and Climbers take the opportunity to climb the tower.
In The Tower of Druaga: The Aegis of Uruk, the royal army began an attack to the tower during the Summer of Anu, and Druaga was defeated by the remaining soldiers and climbers. After Druaga's defeat, the tower was renamed as "The Tower of Gilgamesh" and Meskia became the kingdom's capital.
The original Tower of Druaga with 60 floors appeared in episode 8 inside the new tower, where Kaaya controls Jil by using an arcade and Ahmey gives instructions on how to obtain the treasure chests. The entrance has a shop run by a ghost.
