Inside the fortress, looking at the canal through the main gate.
The “Cortile d'Arme”, the once porticoed courtyard of the guards.
Most of the bare arches are worn-out but still standing.
Beyond an inner gate with a massive double door, a ramp with side steps leads to the upper level of the fortress.See also: Fortezza Vecchia - Piazza dei Grani - Scalo Regio - Porta del Duca - Capitana - Ampolletta - Molo del Soccorso - Canaviglia - Palazzo di Francesco - Mastio di Matilde - From the Top

Great photo of the porticoed courtyard. This site is really inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI love your close-up of the brick arches! It looks a bit unstable...but beautiful just the same :D
ReplyDeleteThat courtyard is amazing. I would love to explore this the way you have.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I like brick-stone architecture, and this building has a lot of fine details.
ReplyDeleteMy kinda place! I'd love to roam there.
ReplyDeleteThe arches are beautiful, must have been splendid.
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing. Look at all those bricks. When was this built? It is a wonder. MB
ReplyDeleteYou know I like old stone and brick, but I hope none of these arches fall on anyone.
ReplyDeleteI love those arches! I am glad this building is still standing. Although it may need some work if it is to last another 100 years or so.
ReplyDeleteThese arches are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, especially the second one.
