The Dark Tower is a stone structure standing at the center of all worlds, at the crosspoint of the Beams, in the midst of a field of roses, beyond the end of End-world.

SPOILERS- The next paragraph contains information relevant to the story. Specifically, the ending.

The Crimson King once conspired to topple the Tower and bring an end to all existence, but his plan was thwarted by Roland Deschain and Patrick Danville. The interior of the Tower is infinitely larger than its exterior, including a spiral staircase that passes rooms, each of which contains a scene from Roland's life. The uppermost door bears the inscription ROLAND, and passing through that door leads the gunslinger ever back into his own past, during his flight across the Mohaine Desert, to repeat the cycle of his quest once more.
