Weekend with AEAC part 3

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)
