The two right photos shows how the castle was built on sandstone ledges that actually overhang. It's a very precarious arrangement to say the least!
Below, some of the defensive works were carved directly from the rock. Not only did this reduce construction time but it also created a better structure defensively.

Left, an example of how the castle is built into the living rock. The stone enhanced the defensive nature of the structure and made it less costly to build.
