Early Modern: Knights of St John (17th Century)
A small triangular ravelin, open at the gorge, protected the main approach
road into the citadel. The ravelin had eight embrasures, four on each face
although one painting shows five. The structure was built on the remains of
medieval ruins as revealed in the course of archaeological excavations. Most
of the original masonry revetments of the ravelin have been replaced by
modern stonework. The ravelin was converted into a small public garden,
losing its legibility and is no longer easily discernable as being an integral
part of the fortress.
