Gintaurel’s Overlook
This particular wizardly ruin can be found in any even half-civilized or advanced fantasy realm. It was once the home of Gintaurel the Wide-Eyed, an archmage who specialized in vision spells (and dabbled in bodily alteration cantrips; hence the epithet). Gintaurel was obsessed with being able to see, as clearly as possible, and with as much detail as possible; he spent an entire decade of his very long life to learn how to see objects by the shadows that they cast in the dark. Eventually he started looking inward, and nobody was really surprised when, one day, he apparently looked inward so keenly that he and his tower disappeared into their own gaze.
