The last street before the plaza was narrow enough that the squad had to move single-file past an abandoned cart that had been shoved against one wall. Harr stopped at the final building before the street opened and moved to the corner to look.
The plaza was irregular, a widening where three streets met. It was paved in grey cobblestones, with buildings on both sides. Empty market stalls stood in the left quarter of the open space, their canvas long gone. In the center sat a stone well.
On the far side, the high quarter began. A retaining wall with steps cut into it rose to the elevated ground, with iron rails on both sides, where the buildings were better and the ironwork was kept up. The steps were blocked at the top by something heavy and dark.
