| 説明 | Seen from the coach on the road from Cordoba to Granada in Andalusia, Spain. Mountains, various castles, olive trees, and sometimes grape trees!Taken on my smartphone as the batteries on my main camera ran out (had to charge them at the hotel in Granada).On the N-432.Castle above Alcaudete.Alcaudete Castle (Castillo de Alcaudete)Located in what was a strategic enclave between Christians and Muslims, the old Al-Andalus castle of Alcaudete is a proud and imposing construction set between the mountains and olive fields.Control over it was so important that it passed between Christian and Muslim hands on a number of occasions during the Christian Reconquest of Spain. It was ceded by the Castilian Monarchs to the Military Order of Calatrava. It was these soldier-monks who built most of the castle (13th-14th century) that is preserved today.It is constructed on a hill overlooking the town of Alcaudete, and consists of a walled polygonal area that adapts to the slopes of the hill, with seven towers: two are on the main gate, a rounded arch enclosed in a rectangular Moorish moulding (alfiz).Inside the walls there is a high and imposing keep, which in the 16th century was adapted as a stately residence by the recently named Counts of Alcaudete, residents of the town. |
