Courtyard Avignon Palace Of The Popes Vertical Stock Photography

It is one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe. Once a fortress and palace, the papal residence was the seat of Western Christianity during the 14th century. The battlements are the top sections of the outer wall of the castle. Now to access these battlements the archers would stand on a walk way that was a wall in it`s own right. This walkway is built right up against the outer wall and is called the Rampart. Vertical orientation.
