III. Castles and Villas.
A. Castles.
Pl. LXXX, No. 1 (P. V. fol. 39b; No. d'ordre 2282). The fortified
place here represented is said by Vallardi to be the "castello" at
Milan, but without any satisfactory reason. The high tower behind
the "rivellino" ravelin--seems to be intended as a watch-tower.
Pl. LXXX, No. 2 (MS. B, 23b). A similarly constructed tower probably
intended for the same use.
Pl. LXXX, No. 3 (MS. B). Sketches for corner towers with steps for a
citadel.
Pl. LXXX, No. 4 (W. XVI). A cupola crowning a corner tower; an
interesting example of decorative fortification. In this
reproduction of the original pen and ink drawing it appears
reversed.
B. Projects for Palaces.
