there are more pictures for this fortress on page 38. I kinda feel sad for losing a 500 old heritage .However we are ready to relinquish our history to serve pilgrims

that's big enough for a person/ persons to fit in. but i agree, not much comfortable space for public visiting, except perhaps at the base of the crescent. this is probably just for maintenance purposes.

Its a balancing thing, so they'll go side to side, you can't just install one half of a 35 ton crescent and then go for the other. Its seriously DANGEROUS

I would love to see that some pranksters at the building company changed the design of the crescent into a banana, it can still be done.

GulfArabia · June 28th, 2011, 03:49 PM

charles54 · June 28th, 2011, 03:52 PM

What the crane is lifting looks like glass panels to me.

DreaM1981 · June 29th, 2011, 05:35 PM

that is true.

glass panels for the crown under the spire.

the company is called "riva"

Looks like the Crescent will be completed with only 3 more Lifts. Cool
