Russian term

под странным углом

Russian to English Art/Literary History
From a work on architectural monuments in Constantinople. Crooked intersection? I do not know what the тоже refers to as nothing preceding the sentence seems to fit.

Еще один кусок стены (7), высится уже к югу от прибрежного шоссе, тоже под странным углом, на Kızıkhan sok., около Rüstempaşa Camii.
Proposed translations (English)

Discussion

Yes, it does. Perhaps, Ms. Deborah Hoffman can find that other piece of the wall.
katerina turevich Aug 2, 2015:
Not really,
'Еще один кусок стены' calls attention to "one more/another" ( broken) part of the wall(s). Or at least that one has seen it elsewhere along the road.

Can this sentence admit the interpretation that the second oddly angled element was the road itself?
katerina turevich Aug 2, 2015:
тоже refers to the same thing that the first word in the sentence refers to, too. probably another wall, towering over something else in another direction. Words Еще , уже , тоже are all related here, you can say.

You are most kind, Tatiana.
agree katerina turevich : 'oddly angled', I ought to admit I don't like the word 'also': there are other ways around it
