Wow!!!

What a great fortress and those canons are incredible. Did not realize there size until the photo with your daughter that showed the scale of them. The cast bronze barrels with the Islamic signature were simply amazing.

Noticed there was one iron canon, would think that would be a later version. Also saw the red bronze disease in the closeup, just adds to the beauty of these guns....

Thanks for posting these,
