Traditional watchtower evolution (1)

A series of three images documenting the evolution of traditional watchtowers here. This one appears to be very old and is located downhill from a fortress-like building I previously photographed. It looks like there are efforts under way to preserve it.

It seems well worth the effort to restore this historical tower. Great POV to capture its size. V

Nice shot capturing this old structure. One hopes that somewhere the historical significance is recorded ! V

it does look old, and simpler in design...

Fascinating structure and good to know that they are probably preserving this. V
