15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?
   

A nice, but also deceptive picture.
Question: Why are the dovetail battlements higher than the surrounding ones? Why is the basic structure in natural stone? Why was brick used? (Brick is a good clue for later work.)
Many rulers and battles took place.
The third wall was built after 1450. Stick to the core fortress. This one has none.
Now it's time for detailed research.
