What castle is this supposed to be? The tower section looks absurdly oversized to be medieval. Even the most fortified crusader castles never reached dimensions like this. Seems to be more fantasy than history to me.

It's a model for demonstration. Obviously they wanted to cram as much stuff as possible in one picture and not depict a specific attack.

That doesn't explain what I was pointing out even one bit, though. The scale is way off.
