Towers of Minas Morgul and Cirith Ungol - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've got a silly question: what's the difference between the Towers of Cirith Ungol and Minas Morgul? I thought they were the same, but I looked at the Encyclopedia of Arda and it's said there that Cirith Ungol is the pass that lay above the tower os Minas Morgul. However, in the map shown there, Minas Morgul is on the western edge of Ephel Dúath, whereas the TOWER of Cirith Cirith Ungol seems to be located on the eastern edge.

Now I'm utterly confused, and I can't figure this out. Help me.
