This is a birds eye view of the courtyard - it was surprisingly big and organized. I did wonder how many people lived here at once.
Notice the skinny walk way to the tower. We started a tradition of climbing every staircase we could find and going thru every door - this was a great way to see it all but very taxing in many ways!!
Here is Mom and Ken at the door way to the tower - we figured it must have been built that way to limit the access by men in armour.
Thru the doorway is a little room - seemed nice until we noticed another door - look how small the door is...
There goes Ken - He hates this shot, butt you have got to use it!!
The steps were very tall and the passage way was really skinny - again we thought a couple of men with bows could hold out for a long time - the men in armour would never be able to get thru the door or up the stairs.
This is the top door.
Here I am helping my mom - it was really a hard climb because the steps were tall and no hand holds and no turning around.
Here is one of the arrow slits up close.
This is the zoomed out of the same arrow slit.
Guns - what else would interest a man?
This is the stairway to the other tower - I loved the look of the brick work. This stair way was slightly wider and had some hand holds.
View of the top of the 2nd tower - isn't the water blue!! That's the Mediterranean Sea and it was so pretty.
Top of the 2nd tower - more square footage then the first but less protected.
