Hârim

A considerable number of the basement
vaults remains, almost all are of pointed
form. The arches are almost without
exception pointed and without Keystones.

The first story is completely ruined
except at the S.E. angle where a number
of vaulted chambers survive, some vaulted
in the best Saracenic style others plainly
rebuilt in later Mediaeval days.

In the S. Wall there are remains of
three chambers within three projecting
buttresses, one is preserved almost
entire. This connected with the main
portion of the castle by a doorway in a heavy
wall 8 ft thick. This shows signs of having
been supplied with no less than 3 doors.
Within all is constructed of finely cut
stone large blocks.

Vaults. The chamber
is vaulted by a long pointed barrel v'lt
intersected by two minor transverse
vaults + which are supported at either end
