Courtyard-Facing Corridor

The Courtyard-Facing Corridor (中庭に面した渡り廊下, Nakaniwa ni Men shita Watari Rōka) is a pathway along the ground level in Dracula's Castle which faces a Courtyard in Dracula's Castle. It runs along the Courtyard Periphery. In most games, it runs along perimeter of the Inner Courtyard. Various buildings can be seen in the background, perhaps including the building that contains the Castle Entrance.
It was first introduced as Stage 7 in Block 3 of the original Castlevania game and is the second Castle Court area of that game. It is often populated with Flea Men or their equivalents.
