A townhouse with a top-floor gallery. I saw many houses and residential towers with this design, which I found particularly appealing. I adopted this type of house for some of the places in my writing.

Here is one of the residential towers from a fortified house complex built around 1440. It originally had four towers, but the other three were removed in the early modern period. This is the Torre del Aire, also called the Palacio de los Fermocelle, in Salamanca.
