Late 15th c., Spanish. A fascinating blend of Moorish and Gothic architecture.

I once heard an architect talk about the kind of monstrosity someone without a budget would build. There’s something about this castle that feels like that to me. I suppose they was a lot of gold coming into Spain at that time.

The first guy to lay a stone was probably dead by the time the last stone was fitted

What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
