the surrounding wall contained ten garrison rooms which were constructed in the late 14th century, the barracks were connected with a latrine. a concealed postern, guarded by two towers lies on the south–western corner of the castle. to the south of the main gate, was built a rectangular, barrel vaulted keep, used a prison, later converted into a cistern. the centre of its northern wall is graced by a refined late 14th century frankish window built from what once was an embrasure. the shape of the embrasures throughout the castle points out that they were mainly used by crossbowmen. at the top of the castle stand the ruins of "the queen's chamber", an alleged fortified chapel destroyed in a turkish naval bombardment in 1525 and looted in the 19th century.
