Sixth century blocks of hewn granite form the base of the tower of Saint George. Crosses were carved into the stones at regular intervals around the monastery. Some stones have a lunate sigma or other Greek letter carved into the face. These have been identified as quarry marks. […] The first rays of sunlight strike the north wall of the fortress.
