The Castle. Atienza. Spain - a photo on Flickriver

The Castle. Atienza. Spain

            Atienza  is a clear example of a rock castle built on a tall abutment of rock, the site of earlier Roman and Visigothic fortifications, it acquired great strategic importance when it became an important link in the chain of Moslem defenses along the Duero river to the eleventh century.
The castle was formed of two walled precincts The upper walls, fairly low, circled  the edge of the rock and was reinforced at the south end by a square tower. The second  wall took advantage of a lower cliff cut artificially in places, and formed a circular area extended at the northeast to make a court of arms.
