A parapet is a wall-like barrier at the edge of a roof, terrace, balcony or other structure. Where extending above a roof, it may simply be the portion of an exterior wall that continues above the line of the roof surface, or may be a continuation of a vertical feature beneath the roof such as a fire wall or party wall. Please see the entry for "parapet" at www.wikipedia.org. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parapet

It is the walk way at the top of the walls of a castle. Often there were towers and it connected the towers.
