This city was started in about the 900’s. Walls and towers were added for protection over the centuries. The river used to be much wider, in the warm Middle Ages.
The “youngest tower”
This one was ruined by the French and rebuilt by an artist for a studio.
The other side with large windows.
St. Nicholas, patron of sailors.
Each guild had responsibility for guarding a section of the wall, and its own stair up.
Wall entrance to a tower
Picture a large truck driving through that opening. The mirrors did not scrape - barely.
River, road, wall, road, houses
And back to the first.....
