The function is drama.

[But that isn't helpful or instructive. Alucard considers where they're standing, and gestures widely.]

I've noticed a number of the buildings here have extra flourishes, carvings, or are otherwise made to have some sort of means of drawing the eye in. They're meant to be looked at, and creating drama through ornamentation isn't a bad way of doing it. The extra step after ornamentation are components of the buildings themselves. Do you need a tower, for example? No, probably not. Does it stand out and loom? Yes, absolutely.
