The two fragments of walls can be made out from a Google Earth overview oriented with north up. The platform on which the TV-tower is standing is clearly visible. With the Google Earth tool it can be measured to be approximately 22 by 33 meters. It is also clear from the picture that the Medical College building was not oriented exactly in accord with the main corners of the world. The main entrance was not pointing towards east but turned slightly towards south-east, a feature that most probably has to do with the local topography of the site.
