CASTLE OF ST. PETER AT BTJDRTJM. 665

the Mausoleum is used in the construction of the
castle: the whole of the sea rampart on the west
side, a solid mass of masonry, 258' long hy 25' x 25';
a great part of the western escarp, the battery in
front of the main gateway, the chapel, the lower
part of the curtain on the west side, parts of the
refectory and of the vaults of the chambers in the
towers, as well as those places that have been re-
paired and strengthened in the east and south
curtains, are built of this material. In such a mass
of masonry a cubical quantity of green stone has
been employed, sufficient to have occupied the
space, which in my restoration of the Mauso-
leum has been assigned to this material. The
lintels of the flat-headed doors are for the
most part formed of marble architrave-stones
from the Mausoleum: but these are not very
numerous. Doubtless many large blocks are in-
corporated in the Avails of this mass of masonry,
which are not externally visible. Altogether, the
castle exhibits an interesting example of mediaeval
military architecture.'1
