In the first pictures posted of Fenestrelle, the very first one is a long-distance shot of the Fort. The lumps on either end -- with the BIG space in beween, are the beginnings and endings of the Fort!
The second photo shows a little more detail of the kind of construction running up the hill. It is basically all granite construction, with slate tiles on the roof -- so that you can walk internally up or down, completely covered, the entire side of the mountain! All those stairs ... and there are thousands of them...
Not sure I'll ever want to make it up another flight of stairs! While we were walking, I kept thinking of the line in "Strictly Ballroom" ... NO NEW STEPS!
Love,
