The Castile up on the Hill
What a majestic structure on top of this hill just outside the town
No cars allowed to the top if you can not walk you stay down
Unless you in medical condition but yu have to get so many permissions for that
So we struggle up this little road to the top and was it well rewarded to be on top
The view is spectacular you can see for miles if the enemy is coming
But the Castle was a position where by the landlords could keep a eye on their peasants working his fields and who was sleeping
This majestic structure is not so finely built like the ones I saw in England but the effort and rocks to be carried up, must have taken years and years
There are no living quarters inside it seems that cattle was herded inn and walkways on the top perimeter
The shooting slots was 2 meters apart
It must have been a terrible unsafe time for the peoples of the valley
Never to relax especially after harvest time when the marauders came around to take away
Good for the landowner all the harvest was brought up to castle to be threshed and another way to protect his harvests from being stolen
Just next to a Roman theatre was uncovered and is now being rebuild very slowly
All earth is stored in big bags for processing and sifted carefully
It takes ages to make progress but the outlines of the seating is done now and you can see about 12 rows already
