Album Info:

When we step onto this walkway, we note the value of the roof. It gives needed protection from fire arrows and stones that might be shot or slung over the wall. And if the besiegers made it up the wall, they had no easy way to drop onto the walkway. As they came down from the roof, the defenders could kill them off one by one. Maybe from this we may more fully realize how much the wall meant to the medieval man, and how it represents his particular state of mind.
