The towers and entrance

I group pictures with a tower along the courtyard, as well as the entrance, which is only ten or a bit more than ten meters north of the East Tower.
In many cases the picture shows several towers and/or the entrance, when obvious I try and group them in their galleries.
There are three large round towers, an octagonal one, two so-called pylons on either side of the Golden Gate, and a rather ruinous tower at the end of that wall.
