Very cool place. I remember 1 story about a siege that lasted month (perhaps) years. The city had been out of food and water for weeks as the invaders waited and waited outside the wall of the fortified city. Starving, the queen catapulted their last pig over the wall. The invaders, demoralized, believing the city must have plenty of food reserves if they would waste livestock in this manner, moved on. I visited there in 1990. Very cool place.
