See intricate detail as a strong point (7)
I believe the answer is:
citadel
'a strong point' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'see intricate detail' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'c' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'intricate' indicates anagramming the letters.
'detail' anagrammed gives 'itadel'.
'c'+'itadel'='CITADEL'
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for citadel that I've seen before include "Stronghold into which people could go for shelter during a battle" , "Fortress (in or near city)" , "where Salvationists meet" , "Fortress -- dialect (anag)" , "Urban stronghold - dialect (anag)" .)
