You can sure see both influences in the building. It is beautiful. You really had a beautiful day to explore the castle. The double is equally as beautiful and still so elegant with the background paper. The triple matting really makes the photos jump right off the page.
Oh the places you have been! You are one person to admire. I love the history you bring into your pages. One day when I grow up I hope to be a traveller such as you! Amazing layout of amazing photographs.
Originally the castle was an 10th century Islamic mosque, the most important building in the Muslim village of Al-Qanatif. It was erected with materials that probably came from another, older Roman building.
The second stage of the building belongs together with its transformation into a Christian sanctuary, to the middle of the 13th century and linked to the Castilian conquest of the area by Alfonso X between the years 1257 and 1260. Some years later it went through some remodeling simultaneously while the city was enclosed by a wall. Around 1272 it entered into the Order of Santa Maria of Spain.
