The Moon is another Major Arcana of Tarot
The fragment that clarifies the meaning of two towers here:
This card indicates the turning point. The Initiate has here let go the guiding hand of his Guru, who would symbolize the direct sunlight, and henceforth must walk the Path lighted only by the Moon, his own intuition.
The towers between which he must go are mighty strongholds, on the one hand the Tower of Ambition and Black Magic, whose snares and glamours are spread for his feet ; on the other hand the Tower of Discouragement and faintheartedness whose battlements are armed by Giant Despair and amidst whose swift flying arrows he must wend his way.
crenellated passage means there are openings in towers' wall through which they shoot arrows to anyone who passes between.
