Talk:Ayyubid Watchtower (Amman)
Unclear description[edit]
"Blocks of cylindrical Roman columns were used on the southern façade."
Sticking out of the wall? Or as part of it and not sticking out initially, going through debesh and having the role to hold the 3 layers better together (masonry - debesh filling - masonry)?
"The fourth wall consists of steps leading to the roof."
A wall can hardly consist of steps.
Is it an open tower, with 3 walls? Such towers did exist as part of outer fortifications.
Or does it have 4 walls, with a staircase attached to (on the inside or the outside?), or built into the width of the back wall? Which of these options is it? Arminden (talk) 14:31, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
