The Ville Close, surrounded by ramparts and entered by a massive gateway flanked by machicolated towers, consists of narrow quiet streets bordered by houses of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Our camp was pitched on a grassy flat just below the village of Chushar Nango with its fine old ruined tower of stone with machicolated galleries all round it.

They had been content to live and quietly to propagate their species in a huge machicolated Norman castle, surrounded by a triple moat, only sallying forth to cultivate their property and to collect their rents.

This palace was distinguished by a feature not very common in the architecture of Roman edifices; that is to say, a medi�val tower, square, massive, lofty, and battlemented and machicolated at the summit.

Of the stronghold little remains save the machicolated gate-way, flanked with ponderous round towers bearing quaint inscriptions.
