Caracuel Castle (link)
castillo
of Caracuel
is a military castle, originally
built
by
the Muslims from
the IX century
in successive periods. It is located to the municipality of Corral de
la Calatrava in the province of Ciudad Real, Spain. In 1085 the
Muslims lost the city of Toledo and as a consequence Caracuel became
momentarily property of the king Alfonso VII. Few years later though
in 1091 it was included in the dowry
of the Muslim princess Zaida! Lost
and reconquered many times the castle of Caracuel became property of
the brotherhood after the battle of Las Navas of Tolosas. (see part
4)
