There you must show your ticket to the guard and pass control. Follow the signs to the right and continue parallel to the wall that runs to your left. After zigzagging along a brief path, cross a door to enter a tower. Once you cross this passage, you’ll arrive in Arms Square. It is an open, spacious area.
