Fort de Mont-Alban the Inside Edition

HELLO!!! I honestly have no clue why I just did that. (Maybe that's because I needed to say hi.)
Anyways, today I went to a castle that's basically in my backyard! Well, not exactly back, more of my side yard! Now I know I've wrote about this castle in the past, but as some of you may know, I didn't go inside of it. Let me just tell you, this experience, brought me to thinking about some of the brave solders who decided to take part in the deadly battle that was in this castle.
When I first set foot int the castle, I noticed that it was very small. Hmm. It doesn't look small from the outside. I asked our tour guide how one hundred solders fit into this tiny lobby-like room. He told me (in french) that people were smaller back in the 1500's. Afterwards, he took us to, THE DUNGEON!!!!!!!!! He let us look around, and then he started walking away. We quickly scrambled to catch up with him. He then brought us to one of the bedrooms of the soldiers. I noticed that there was a bathtub-like bowl. I asked my dad why that was in the bedroom instead of the restroom. "A tube that catches the rain from outside is attached to this," He replied. "That was what they drank from. Then, the leftovers went down this pipe, and into this underground well for storage." I then asked him why they needed to store water. "Because if there was a drought, they wouldn't run out of water. The Italians were outside the castle waiting for them to come out. But they've already had enough water to last years!" He explained. The kitchen even had enough food to last years!

Our last stop was the roof. I was amazed by the spectacular view of the harbor, and the city of Nice and the Villefranche Sur-Mer. The roof was made out of indestructible bricks! Not even a cannonball would shatter those bricks! That's why the the soldiers inside were safe. There were some cannons going straight through the wall so that they could fire at the Italians. I took a long look at the wall. I then noticed that the wall underneath it, was not brick. I went over to our tour guide and asked hime what the other wall was made of. "The wall is made out of layers of bricks, cement, and sand. This makes it completely indestructible! And it also results in 15 feet thick wall structure!" He replied in french. "Why is the top layer in brick though?" I questioned him. "It's to reinforce the structure from enemies that might attack the soldiers." So that's why!
So now, I have increased your knowledge about this castle I have been to many times before, and now, you can decide wether you could live in a castle for 5 years straight! Let me know what you think in the comments below!
