The arches are positioned at right angles to make access more difficult for enemies, who, once inside, would find themselves under attack from all sides.<br \/>\nThe two arches were surmounted by protected walkways, equipped with battlements and large corbels underneath to provide machicolations for defense. The outer walkway had a drawbridge, as can be seen from the large openings that allowed the passage of the chains that supported the bridge, while the inner walkway was probably protected by an iron grate.<br \/>\nIn 1658, during renovations and restoration work, the lunette of the inner arch was frescoed with a Deposition, now transferred for conservation reasons to the church of Santa Croce and replaced with a contemporary work on the same subject by Maestro Bruno d\u2019Arcevia.<\/p>\n <br\/>  <br\/>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.welcomeserradeconti.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destinazione\/4009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.welcomeserradeconti.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destinazione"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.welcomeserradeconti.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/destinazione"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.welcomeserradeconti.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.welcomeserradeconti.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destinazione\/4009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.welcomeserradeconti.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.welcomeserradeconti.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
