English: Merlons — merlons form the vertical solid parts of a battlement or crenallated parapet.

Used from Medieval architecture onwards for over a millennia, in defensive wall fortifications.
Sometimes merlons are narrowly pierced by vertical embrasure 'slits' to view and fire through. When the space is wider between two merlons it is called a crenel, and a series of many merlon—crenels creates crenallation.

Español: Almena.

Italiano: Merlo — architettura.

Português: Merlões.
