The shape of the towers is various: for the gate towers it is square (as it should be), for the combat ones it is round on the floor side and flat on the inside of the fortress. It must be understood that in the old days the rear side of the towers was open (for airing the powder smoke during firing). The sheds on the left side of the street are most likely built at the same time as the tower itself.
