It rests on a small rise, slightly above the rest of the town. Two sides face out over the river and have walls 40 high. Only a few windows line the tops of these walls. The other sides are protected by curtain walls, each standing 30 high. The building has one main gate that you see.The next is a low, one-story building partially surrounded by a 10' high wall. The one gate in the wall leads to a small garden area and the entrance to a building that is is simply built, but is made of fine materials. The door to this building is open, and it sounds like there is chanting inside.  This may well be a temple.Finally, next to the far city wall is a building with a 15’ high stone wall surrounding it. The one entrance has no gate and is never closed. Inside is a small garden and a roofed shrine. The building is open on two sides and contains a small altar and several old panels painted with scenes. Small bowls containing offerings sit in front of the altar.</blockquote>
