It is built as a square, with a perimeter of around four kilometres (2.5\u00a0mi). The walls reach a height of 14 metres (46 feet), and are seven metres (23 feet) thick – see bottom picture. The east, south and north sides are surrounded by a deep, wide moat with drawbridges over it. In the middle of the pass stands a tall bell tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
