- In the area of the abandoned gate. Someone had been sleeping in the stairs and one of the watchtower areas was completely overrun by vegetation. Also a cat was sleeping there among the bushes. It let me took few pictures, but finally got bored and run away. |

also the place of executions. Nearly 150 years have passed, since crowd
were cheering here and waiting to see blood spilled...

- Overall quite interesting place from which it was difficult to get an comprehensive picture. The place is so huge and as parts of it is still under military control, you just couldn't walk freely around the place and thus it's hard to picture the structure of the whole place. Also this doesn't seem to be a too popular place for tourists to visit. There is an museum inside the Citadel, but we were the only visitors inside. Also while walking around the Citadel, I think we only saw few other people here. The taxi driver that drove us here, also didn't have a slightest clue where to go. First he drove us to the military area and finally I got bored to the whole thing of driving around, that I just asked him to stop and showed that we'll walk rather than spend the rest of the day in the taxi. |
