Any idea if they could be original?

The fortified Planta tower was erected around 960 to provide protection against barbarians threatening the empire of Otto I. It is considered the oldest fortified residential tower in the Alps. The swallowtail merlons and most windows were only added around 1500. Much of the convent museum is inside this tower.

So really not a good example if you believe the carbon dating.

Thanks, Michelle! It's a really cool tower, but I already suspected the crenellations looked suspicious.

I'm going to Malta in August and will definitely photograph more merlons there!

What else might be worth knowing about the wall (Murata) in Bellinzona.
What did it look like around 1356 before the Confederates breached it (around 1422) and before it was reinforced?
There are 296 dovetail battlements and they face north. Only on one side.

MS Ham 390 has been added to the Venice cluster on the map.

Point of clarification:

In reference to merlon crenulations in the VMS, note that the "castle" on the 9 rosettes folio has Guelph merlons on the left wall and Ghibelline merlons on the front and back walls. The right side of the "castle" does not have a distinct wall and therefore no crenulations. These variances may need further clarification/explanation.

Apparently this was already on the map, though a bit unclearly. I added the link and better references. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
