This castle was founded following the order of King D. Dinis. The works lasted only 4 years and ended in 1298. Granite, marble and schist were used in its construction. It has an oval plan, a top reinforced by three towers and a keep, situated westwards from the wall. It is located in the centre of Alandroal village, Alentejo, surrounded by well-kept houses.

I think you positioned yourself in just the right place to take this shot showing the inner doorways and all the brick like construction. I like the shadows you captured too.

A lot of work went into this and it has withstood the test of time Antonio. Your photo will as well.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine
A nice angle in your capture Antonio. Good textures and details in the stonework of the castle.

Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. - Andre Gide
Excellent work Antonio. Great composition and the texture of the stonework makes me want to be there and touch the warmth of the walls.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust . . . . The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress." ~ Joseph Joubert (1754-1824)
Really like the textures and detail in this one Antonio. Superb capture and gave this a high score a few minutes ago.
