Tips

You can admire a beautiful example of military architecture here.
At this location, on the outside of the canal, you will find the counterscarpe.
The word comes from the Italian 'scarpa' meaning 'sharp' or 'steep' and also appears in a word like 'escarpement' meaning steep cliff.

Architectural explanation about counterscarpe:
Sometimes the name counterscarpe is also used for the entirety of the outer bank, the covered road and the glacis. It is generally steep and sometimes has a weather wall or revetment.

Escarpe is the inner moat edge and is the (steep) slope of a (possibly dry) moat in a fortress that is located on the inside.
