I like the way it was built, high on the mountaintop, as so many fortresses are for greater visibility of their enemies. It surely makes defending it easier, doesn't it?

They have made it a World Heritage site in 2014. What I remember is the incredible wall and how it was built into the mountains, using the terrain to its advantage. The seemed to keep it in good condition for the age. It was a very important fortress and did remind me of the Great Wall because of how it was constructed.

A great picture of the Gate. Which one was that?

I hope you get back to see more of it. It was an incredible place and when looking at their history, they certainly were invaded very many times.

This constantly updated through the years and is reflected in the construction. A wonderful post! Thank you!
