The air near the upper treasury vaults smelled of burning oil lamps, dried ink, and wet volcanic stone. During major regional wars, the fort became a safe sanctuary for royal families fleeing the plains below. Soldiers spent their days maintaining the deep rock-cut cisterns, listening to the sharp mountain winds cut through the unique needle-like rock cleft. In 1818, British cannon fire shattered the active defense bastions, stripping the peak of its wealth. The gold vanished into the pages of history, but the grand stone archways still stand tall, guarding the memory of an empire.
