The Underground Curtain, the XV-XVIII centuries. Preservation #734/6 | FotoThe Casemate Curtain (the XV-XVIII centuries ) is located between the Overgate and Coastal Towers. It looks like two parallel defensive walls, located on 4.2 m distance. The two-tiered buildings are located between them. Now, the North-eastern wall of the Casemate Curtain looks like a two-tiered wall with a row of the cannon loopholes. The both tiers of the Casemate Curtain are covered with stone vaults.
