notes:

South Gate is also called a secret, so, as they are not visible from the valley. They are constructed as the defensive wall in the XVI century. At the same time the city wall was strengthened by ten gun turrets, and the door leaf upholstered hand-forged iron bands. Behind the wall stretches up the narrow, carved in the rock massif, the corridor. Above him in the defense of the city on rock ledges, fixed floor of thick logs. It housed defenders stood pots of boiling water and tar, were piles of stones. And it all fell on the heads of the besiegers.
