I could see what you meant by "structures" (as I said before, I think I have identified the type of "feature" that you call "structures"), but I couldn't find the "tower", and now I know why: you said it was to the right but it's to the left.
At 0.6 metres per pixel, anything with at least 0.6 metres will appear as a dot (or a line, in something like a roadway), and things with more than 1.8 metres will show their shape, obviously closer to the real shape for larger objects.

I have not seen 'roadways' in the images but the viewpoint is quite a distance above the surface.
Do you have any explanation for a shadowless tower?

If you had looked carefully you would see that there is a tall tower rising above the other structures which is not casting a shadow.

Sorry, I don't understand it. How can a shadow be "shielded"?
A shadow is always project onto something, it cannot be "shielded".

A shadow is always project onto something, it cannot be "shielded".
A possible reason why a shadow cannot be seen is because it is being shielded from our view by a row of tall structures slightly to the right of the tower. As a matter of interest this particular section is a crop from the full image which was rotated 30 degrees to the left to produce an oblique view of the surface objects.

How the hell can that happen? Some of these rolling rocks travel through craters, so go down a slope and up the other side? That shows they were travelling with some force / speed?

could it be that the trails were there prior to the impact craters?
