L'entrada artillada a Esa / The artilled entrance to Eze

IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE

 

Tot entrant a la part vella del molt turistic poble d'Esa (Eze en francès), trobem la porta fortificada medieval, inclosa una posició per a un canó. És curiós com aquesta esptillera que deu datar del s. XV o XVI, és quasi identica a les que es troben en forts de la linea Maginot molt propers...

While entering the old part of the very touristic village of Esa (Eze in French), we find the medieval fortified gate, including a position for a cannon. It is curious how this artillery embrasure that must date from the XV or XVI Centuries, it is almost identical to those found in nearby Maginot line forts...
