It is said this is where Legendary Pokémon are created and slumber.

Map description:
The oldest tower in the Unova region. No one knows its history.
In Pokémon Black and White, the first accessible portion of Dragonspiral Tower is the entrance north of Icirrus City, due to the tower itself being surrounded by a moat that cannot be traversed using Surf. After the player obtains the Freeze Badge, Team Plasma will break through the wall of the tower with a ramp, giving the player access to the inside of the tower, as well as the previously-inaccessible grassland on the other side of the moat. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the ramp is still there, giving the player immediate access to the tower after reaching Icirrus City.

The tower made its first proper appearance in Secrets From Out of the Fog!, where Ash, Cilan, and Iris were transported near it by N, Anthea, and Concordia. Recognizing it as the Dragonspiral Tower, Ash and his friends realized they were nearing their destination. In Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!, Ash and company went to see the tower more closely. Cilan proceeded to explain about how it is said to be the oldest tower in Unova, and how no one seems to know who or why it had been built.
The Dragonspiral Tower appeared in a flashback in The Plan, where N was seen there, awakening Zekrom from the Dark Stone and befriending it, before flying away on its back.
Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder
The Dragonspiral Tower appeared in The King's Identity...!!, where Shin and N traveled there together. Upon arrival, Togari battled Shin to give N enough time to befriend Zekrom. Once he had done so, N revealed his position as the king of Team Plasma to Shin.
In Finding Truth, after successfully stealing the Dark Stone at the Nacrene Museum, Ghetsis brought the stone to the tower where N was waiting for him. N awakened Zekrom from its slumber, and managed to convince it to join his cause.

In Pokémon Black and White, the onomatopoeia for Reshiram and Zekrom's cries as the player ascends Dragonspiral Tower are mistranslated in English as someone shouting "Burn, baby, burn!" while Reshiram's cry plays (a reference to the chorus of the 1976 song "Disco Inferno") or "It's shocking!!" while Zekrom's cry plays, likely due to the Japanese onomatopoeia accompanying their cries—"モエルーワ！" and "バリバリダー！！ respectively—being misinterpreted as regular dialogue.
In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, the same cries are instead translated in English as "Baaaaaaaahn!" and "Shaaaaaak!" respectively before battling N in the throne room of N's Castle.
