Barad-dûr found its final demise when Frodo Baggins, aided by Gollum, destroyed the One Ring within Mount Doom. Deprived of the Ring’s power sustaining it, the Dark Tower collapsed into ruin, ensuring it would never rise again.

This first Downfall was not complete, because the Ring remained whole, and therefore Barad-dûr's foundations could not be destroyed.
