Image 1. These towers were huge. They were built by the Knights Templar, as I recall.

Image 2. This was a small chapel inside the entrance. It uses the standard blue tiles.

Image 3. A ceiling in one of the rooms. It was a dark room, so I had to hold still for a few seconds.

Image 4. The round church which is modeled on the Church of the Holy Sepulchre by the Knights Templar.

Images 5, 6. This stereoscopic pair shows the church in Image 4.
