(c) There is a quote in teh review that in 1954 Peking was still very much "
an ancient city wrapped in high crenellated walls."
For crenellated, see battlement
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlement
(A battlement (also called a crenellation) in defensive architecture, such
as that of city walls or castles, comprises a parapet (i.e. a short wall),
in which portions have been cut out at intervals to allow the discharge of
arrows or other missiles. These cut-out portions form crenels) |
