Cervera del Rio Alhama Castle

And I started to write again, posting pictures, and we will continue, and is wearing long wanted to post some pictures of my people, Cervera Alhama River , specifically the remains of the Castle, which although in ruins, can see quite well what could be its structure.

Located above the San Antonio Peña Muslim construction and after the invasion of Cervera S.VII early, under the administration of Banu Almost, Visigoth family converted to Islam, was when he had built the main part of the Castle on the Rock. Later it was rebuilt in the fourteenth century and in the fourteenth century.

Its original construction adopts a longitudinal configuration setting its path to the uneven terrain. It consisted of a central core formed by the main tower, rectangular and with a well inside, a long esplanade protected by a wall with a series of cave dwellings, and a second defensive line as a barrier outside a second water tank pierced in the rock, but now as veráis in photos is something ruionoso status, .

In the Castle itself and around, you can see many caves, which serve as shelter, old, its occupants

In its current state, also distinguished quite well the shapes of the windows and part of the original structure

Finally a few general views of other structures that are seen walking through the wreckage, and overviews of its walls, caves and lower windows below the walls, sort of rectangles with stones, do not know they could be, and stone structure, which is my favorite, and the way it could have been a drinker, a seat, or know that, but every time I go, I sit there and breathe the fresh air and tranquility that has that place, and it's great.
