Spiral stairs in medieval times were generally made of stone and typically wound in a clockwise direction (from the ascenders point of view), to place attacking swordsmen (who were most often right-handed) at a disadvantage. This asymmetry forces the right-handed swordsman to engage the central pike and degrade his mobility compared with the defender who is facing down the stairs.
