A staircase descendsnto a subterranean cbapel, where traces of frescoes are still visible. Inhe interior of the fortress are numerous cisterns. Although the springs,re situated immediately outside the town, large cisterns have been con-tructed within the town (particularly by the tower of Beybars). — Thelew from the top of the castle embraces the Dead Sea and the surround-ng mountains. In the distance the Mt. of Olives, and even the Russianmildings beyond it, are visible. A survey of the valley of Jordan as fars the heights of Jericho is also obtained.
