A3 Mussarat Arif,Works at TTEKSep 6 Ever wonder why most staircases in medieval castles werebuilt to be extremely narrow and spiraling in a clockwise direction? Since medieval castles were built mainly as fortifications,staircases were designed to make it extremely difficult for enemycombatants to fight their way up. Since most soldiers were right-handed, they would need to round eachcurve of the inner wall before attempting to strike,inevitably exposing themselves in the process. The clockwise spiral staircase also allowed the defendersto use the inner wall as a partial shield and easily allow them to swingtheir weapon without being hindered by the curvature of the outer wall. The stairs were also intentionally poorly lit and built tobe uneven, making it even more difficult for theattackers to gain any sort of balance or momentum during their fight up tocapture the castle.
