Segovia, Spain: A castle on a hill

 

Taking photos of castles is difficult for the same reasons that they were constructed in the first place. A real castle, built for defense from a ground attack, is usually located on a high, steep hill, if one is available, to enhance the defenses of high walls and a moat. All of these factors are present with the castle in Segovia, Spain. This is the Alcázar of Segovia built. It started as a Roman fort and is first referenced in history in 1120 A.D and it has been reconstructed and maintained since that time.
