Description

Three -level turn. At the lowest level was probably the deposit of provisions. The upper level, accessible by a scale, is lit by two loopholes on each side. It is surmounted by a cradle vault with a glasses in the center. The scale used to reach the first floor could, once withdrawn, serve to access the platform of the second floor of the defense, which has a scalable with bonfs on each side, as well as the loopholes in each home -in -the -corner and one at the front. The towers on the coast may have replaced older watchtals.
