Being
If you look into the metal lattice from the other side, you can only see the green curtain. Anything else you think you're seeing is your imagination! Behind the green curtain are four structures - the last of them being some of the original walls of Aishah (r) that have been fortified by Umayyad engineering.
Could anyone please explain to me the "being" part? I mean this part " the last of them being some of the original walls of Aisha(r).....
Does it mean : the last one is one of the original walls of Aisha (r)?

Yes, you're exactly right Hasib, it means that the last one is some of the original walls.
'being' is the participle of the verb to be. Here, using 'being' instead of 'is' implies that this clause is an additional note to what has been said before, and not the focus of the piece.
