I can provided this picture of the "Marble Tower" at the junction of the
Sea and Land walls.
For more information see: The
Land Walls
An arrow slit from the outside. |
The same arrow slit from the inside. |
These are the only pictures I took of the tower complex at the union
of the Sea and Land walls. Note the difference in the size of the slit
compared to the embrasure behind.
A polygonal wall tower with a postern next to the flanking wall. |
Inner roof and upper walls of lower story of wall tower. |
One jamb of the postern showing the 'putlog' holes |
The other jamb of the postern doorway |
The jambs on either side of the postern clearly show the 'putlog' hole
used to secure the postern. So the end of the 'putlog' is place in the
hole on the left then the other end is slid into place in the 'L' shape
slot on the right.
The view south from one of the towers of Yedikule. |
The view north from the same tower. |
There are market gardens in the moat on the left and water storage in
the moat on the right.
Looking through a crenel into the moat, note the corn crop. |
An arrow slit in one of the merlons in front of the outer gate of the Yedikule. |
The Theodosian Land walls north of the Yedikule, looking north to the Silver Gate. |
The Theodosian Land walls looking south to the Yedikule. |
A section of the Theodosian Land walls, crops are being raised in sections of the moat. |
A section of the Theodosian Landwalls, partly renovated. |
