Walking along the city wall from the Lantern tower toward the Saint-Nicolas and Chain towers.
The Chain Tower gets it name from the iron chain that was stretched across the entrance to the port between the two towers to keep marauders out. Portions of the chain still exist and are on display outside the tower. I managed not to get a photo of that.
The two towers seen from outside the old port.
Again, both towers are open to the public with historical exhibits inside, but we stayed out with Tasha. Besides, lunch time was fast approaching. I posted a photo of these two towers seen from inside the port last Sunday.
Magnificent! You won’t find anything like that in New YorK!
ReplyDeletemitch, There is a Wall Street... lol
ReplyDeletejudy, I wish we could have explored the town a little more, but it's not really possible with a pup in tow. Still, we enjoyed what we saw and Tasha had a good time.
