General description of the staircases
Elongated rectangular room accessible from the eastern corner of the NE portico of the Central Court that has been identified as a staircase. It has been assumed that the three first steps of the staircase were of stone and the rest wooden. No imprints of vertical timber reinforcements were recorded at the walls of the rooms. The current appearance is the result of restoration.
