The country is a mosaic of regions that are fiercely proud of their unique and individual history. Most of Spain’s castles date back to medieval times, and have had many influences in both their architecture and their role within the local area. The Muslim presence in Spain over several centuries made many of its castles quite unique in many ways. Spanish monarchs took advantage of the architectural knowledge of the Arabs who settled on the peninsula to build impregnable defensive jewels. Since the Middle Ages, over 20,000 castles have been built, where palace intrigues, military crusades, love dramas and family successions became legend. #SBS #SBSonDEMAND #Australia #History@zdenek1964 #SpecialInterest #History@britblood
