Battlements. Buitrago del Lozoya.

Battlements. Buitrago del Lozoya.
It was a large town by medieval standards and the battlements go a long way round! In the distance the Sierra de Guadarrama marking the borders of Madrid and Segovia provinces, although for many centuries this area was claimed by Segovia and they even went to war over it. (Madrid won in the end)..

I should have made that clear, Isabel. I did take a photo of the official 'notes' but I didn't copy them as they seemed incomplete. i.e. no mention of the Moors!
I'll soon post a shot of the castle next to the church and there the two styles can be seen, even if the buildings all have a mix of styles, the Moors being by far the superior architects of the era!

Actually it's dead central in Spain and to the north of the capital Madrid. But yes, Moorish architecture dominated most of Spain for quite some time! Thank you, Jenny!

It's interesting how the provinces had the battles over territories, similar to elsewhere in Europe.
Wonderful battlements, and composition leading through.

I just love that old stonework! There is nothing like that over here. What a great view you have from there!
