Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the Castle of Guimaraes. It was built in the 10th century and reconstructed in the 13th. Don´t worry, I won´t bother you with its history :) Follow the link if you are interested.
As you get close to it, you wonder why would you even try to scale those walls. I mean, I checked the place and this is the weakest point!
How can we break these magnificent defenses? Sit and wait. Seriously, that´s how sieges started. Stay far enough from the castle but force the citizens to stay inside until they run out of food. The best of it is that you don´t need to climb :)

Pretty!
I´m glad you like it
Formidable defence. Beautiful castle.
Indeed, it is! :)
This seems like an awesome place to stay in a zombie apocalypse! :D
It’s so cool!
Hahahaha That was pretty much the original idea :-D
I’m glad you like it!!!
Dizzying heights! Yikes! It looks surreal.
Yes, a little bit of both :) A millennial castle in the middle of the city! :D
Oh how beautiful!
I´m glad you like it :)
Gorgeous
This is the small one :D
Wow
:D

Thank you :)
Congratulations, I’ve nominated you for the Real Neat Blog Award, check this out: https://kahchoonblog.wordpress.com/2016/02/20/real-neat-blog-award/
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the journey with your pictures. Reminds me of a movie I saw recently with the same fortress formation.
You are welcome!
I would love to watch that movie :)
Very impressive castle. I love castles with their dark history, with kings and queens, princes and princesses, intrigues and so on.
You have a pic which makes the link between those times and our times. You’re in the tower and take a photo of the street where are cars :)
It was funny to see that among ruins, walls, very old weapons
Great post, David :)
I think it’s cool to be there
Thank you :)
The castle is in the middle of the city so it wasn´t difficult :D
The city combines old and modern times perfectly.
I guess I can do another post. Guimaraes merece!
Hugs :)
I wait for it, David. Because, yes, is a beautiful city :)
Done! :D

Gracias y felicidades :)
But how long would it take them to run out of food? Patience will have to be pretty strong :-)
Beautiful place
Right! But I guess once they are locked inside, the land is yours :) The castle is just a bonus.
So true!
Just my opinion :)
