FORTRESS

To the west, on the road between the bazaar and the madrasa, the remains of the walls of the fortress of Denau rise up. They form an open arc over the Bayuntao Mountains, which block the horizon and the river below. Leaving aside the palisade, the relocation is justified more for the view than for the ruins of the walls. The walls are indeed liquefied by the rains and crumbled by the passage of tourists, children or cattle, and it is difficult to imagine their original size and extent.
