This important castle dominated the road from Murcia to Alicante and was the most important fortification in the moorish independent kingdom of Mursiya. It was built after the Cordovan calipahte crumbled down in the onset of 11th C.

The first documented reference to it was made by the sufi philosoper and poet, born in Mursiya, Ibn al Abbar who told us that Mursiya's amir Ibn Tahir was imprisoned there when deposed in 1.078

When Murcia was conquered by the christian king Alphonsus X, The Wise, he chose the castle as royal residence and there dated a number of letters to his wife, queen Violante, on June, 22nd, 1.257 donating the castle to her.

At the beginning of 20th. C a monument to Christ was built on top to be, later, blown up and destroyed -together with the upper structures of the castle- during the Spanish Civil War. Immediately after the war, the monument was rebuilt.

De acuerdo con Luis (como no estarlo...) las rodadas aportan mucho a la composicion; no estoy seguro si me sobra un tanto de follaje a la derecha, pero menos habria dejado el castillo demasiado centrado, en fin que me gusta mucho tal como esta.

Vuelvo a leer lo que te he escrito, y pienso que soy una pijotera asquerosa, asi que no me hagas demasiado caso, porque en esta segunda vision percibo el arranque del camino con las rodadas y la vegetacion en primer plano a modo de ventana desde la que contemplar el maravilloso castillo.

Es que hay que hay que mirar mucho mas!, pensarlo y luego opinar.

Te mando un beso muy fuerte querido amigo.

Uf! Las fotos de los castillo. Las hay de verdadera pasada. Al margen de esteticas el trabajo es de campeonato. Desconzco tu reaccion si te felicito por el, aun a riesgo de recibir una "pedrarada" lo hare: FELICIDADES por ese curro tan bestial y tan magistral.
