What is a "bartizan"?
A bartizan is a small, overhanging turret or balcony that projects from the wall of a castle or fortification. Typically located at the corners of a structure, a bartizan provides a vantage point for defenders to observe the surrounding area and keep watch for potential threats. It often features small openings or arrow slits for shooting while remaining protected. Bartizans are commonly made of stone and can be elaborately designed, adding to the visual interest of the building. This feature not only enhances the defensive capabilities of a fortification but also contributes to the historic and imposing appearance of castles.
