Description
Català: Prototip de castell de fusta ideat per l'estratega de Jaume I, que mai va arribar a ser usat. A la foto es poden apreciar les pells de bou, sense adobar, que s'haurien emprat per evitar que s'incendiés la torre. Per ser transportades fins a la muralla aquestes torres haurien utilitzat politges i cordes subjectades amb pals clavats a terra. Per passar fossats haurien col·locat vies o haurien colgat el fossat amb terra. Model exposat al Castell de Montsoriu.
English: Siege tower prototype designed by the strategist of James I the Conqueror. It was never used. Bull skins would have protected the tower to prevent fires. These machine would have been transported near the walls using pulleys and ropes. To overcome any moats, the attackers would need to fill the moat or place rails for the tower. Model exhibited at the Montsoriu Castle.
