LORCA'S CASTLE

Resultado de imagen de CASTILLO LORCA

DESCRIPTION:

This 13th-century castle is located in a strategic position overlooking the city. It has a long, narrow shape with a polygonal floor plan and is divided into three areas, one of which contains the rectangular Alfonsí Tower, with three sections covered by Gothic vaulted ceilings. This tower was rebuilt in the 15th century. Also outstanding is the Espolón Tower with Mudejar influences. The castle has been restored as a themed area dedicated to visitors and to the interpretation of heritage, under the name of the Fortress of the Sun. This initiative has earned Lorca a place on the shortlist of the European Commission's EDEN programme (European Destinations of Excellence), in recognition of its sustainable tourism proposal

MORE INFO: 

It comprises a series of defensive structures that, during the Middle Ages, turned the city and its fortress into an impregnable point in the peninsular southeast. The castle of Lorca was a key bastion in the battles between Christians and Muslims during the Reconquest

This week, I have been enjoyed my local Holy Week, looking at the translations of every pamphlet distributed in my city.
