Mezzo position

You are in the Mezzo position, better known as the middle position, which is located on the south side in front of the artillery barracks. During the Venetian rule, the guard building, two smaller residential buildings and a fortified entrance were located in this position. This entrance served for communication between the eastern and southern parts of the fortress and was of key importance for internal traffic and defense. However, at the beginning of the 18th century, this entrance was removed. The position of Mezzo was strategically important, as it enabled better access control and provided security to key parts of the fortress. In the context of Game of Thrones, the concept of Mezzo Position has similarities to the strategic positions that power players occupy in the world of Westeros. Fortresses like Casterly Rock, Winterfell or The Red Keep often had these specific points from which the entrance to the fortress could be monitored or from which attacks and defense strategies were conducted. Like the Mezzo position, they allowed leaders to maintain the balance of power and ensure the defense of their territories. Today, the Mezzo Position or Middle Position still holds significant historical value, although its function in the fortress's defensive system has disappeared. Part of the position also bears traces of Venetian buildings. Although no longer used in a military context, this area remains popular with visitors for its historical importance and insight into military architecture.
