St Michael's Tower, Medieval church tower at The Cross in Gloucester, England.

The limestone tower stands at the intersection of four main streets, marking the highest elevation point in the city center of Gloucester.

Built in 1465 on the site of a 12th-century church, the tower remained standing when the rest of St Michael's Church was demolished in 1956.

The tower exhibits two Rudhall bells from 1710 and houses educational displays about Gloucester's past, including Roman archaeological discoveries beneath its foundation.

Visitors can access the tower from April through September, Monday to Saturday between 10:30 AM and 4:00 PM, with local guides sharing information.

The structure functions as the headquarters of Gloucester Civic Trust, which transformed it into an educational center following a £300,000 restoration in 2010.
