citadel

But in order that we might gain complete information, we ascended to the summit of the neighboring citadel and looked around us.

On the towers of the citadel engines of war were placed and different kinds of machines, and the position was much higher than the circle of walls which I have mentioned.

these men were never allowed to leave the citadel, except on feast days and then only in detachments, nor did they permit any stranger to enter it.

The citadel was the special protection of the temple and its founder had fortified it so strongly that it might efficiently protect it.

After they had expressed their delight, he gave orders that the best quarters near the citadel should be assigned to them, and that preparations should be made for the banquet.
