This photograph showcases the orillon, curtain wall, and defensive ditch of the Citadel. The limestone walls, partially overgrown with vegetation, display the architectural ingenuity of historical fortifications. The orillon's rounded structure highlights its purpose in deflecting artillery fire, while the ditch served as an additional defensive barrier. Prickly pear plants and rubble fill the foreground, blending the natural surroundings with the historic landscape.
