Swallowtail merlons... or provenance
#43
I'm talking about Rhodes, and Bodrum.

There's no reason to think that there were Ghibelline battlements before 1500. But it is interesting to note that wherever there are crown battlements there is also something to do with Süleyman. The fashion trend did not come until after 1500, otherwise they existed in northern Italy as early as the 1100 .
