 tower, fortification, city gate, listed building / architectural heritage
The castle is gone, but the impressive outer gate remains. Note the mask with a “mouth”. Through this hole, the castle’s defenders poured hot tar onto attackers. The side doors were delibe rately small, so that only one person at a time could enter at night.
