It is from this place that the guardhouse on the northwest side can best be seen, to the right of those facing the Tower, at the base of which is represented a rhinoceros, reminiscent of the one that once arrived in Lisbon, offered by the King of Cambaia to King D. Manuel I.
Above the guardhouses are two images: on the right side S. Miguel, on the left side S. Vicente, patron saint of Lisbon and of this fortification. At the fourth floor there is a round path with merlons decorated by the cross of Christ.
Using the footbridge, you reach the drawbridge. This bridge, combined with a guillotine door and several openings in the ceiling of the entrance compartment, through which projectiles were launched, made it difficult for invaders to access.
