Alright guys this is a small thing but I figured it'd be the place to ask. I just started to read the short story The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, and there's a phrase that's tripped me up right at the start and I can't get it out of my head. Now I feel like I may be being stupid here as I haven't slept, but still, I can't find any definition or meaning for the phrase "Bright-towered". Here's the sentence:

"With a clamor of bells that set the swallows soaring, the Festival of Summer came to the
city Omelas, bright-towered by the sea"

What would you take this to mean?
