Write a detailed description of a patriotic scene outside a town courtyard with a railing, granite, and posts.
assistant
A stairway spirals around a central incised column as it rises to an upper balcony. The steps and railing are hewn from granite, their coarse texture contrasting with the detail in the posts supporting the railing. Each post is an exact replica of a famous shield, some of them overlaid with precious metals.
