Into the bowels

spiral staircase within the wall of Fort Santiago The walls of the 16th century Spanish citadel Fort Santiago are so thick, it actually has rooms, tunnels and staircases. Too bad most are too dangerous to explore nowadays.

Oh my gosh, Fort Santiago! I remember going there as a kid! I found it very creepy, actually. It looks less creepy in your picture :^)

That thick?? The wall has rooms? Is that what is meant by casemate?
