"The Castle of Loarre is a Romanesque Castle and Abbey located near the town of the same name, Huesca Province in the Aragon autonomous region of Spain. It is one of the oldest castles in Spain.
The castle was built largely during the 11th and 13th centuries, when its position on the frontier between Christian and Muslim lands gave it strategic importance. The first of the two major building programs began circa 1020, when Sancho el Mayor (r. 1063-94) reconquered the surrounding lands from the Muslims." - wikipedia
"The Alcazar of Segovia is a medieval castle located in the city of Segovia, in Castile and León, Spain. It has existed since at least the 12th century, and is one of the most renowned medieval castles globally and one of the most visited landmarks in Spain. It has been the backdrop for significant historical events and has been home to twenty-two kings, along with notable historical figures.
The fortress stands on a rocky crag at the western end of Segovia's Old City, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985, above the confluence of rivers Eresma and Clamores. Today, it is used as a museum and a military archives building since its declaration as a National Archive by a Royal Decree in 1998. It has also worked at times as a state prison, a Royal Artillery College, and a military academy." - wikipedia
"Bellver Castle (Catalan: Castell de Bellver, locally [ˌbeʎˈvə]) is a Gothic-style castle on a hill 3 km to the west of the center of Palma on the Island of Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. It was built in the 14th century for King James II of Majorca, and is one of the few circular castles in Europe.
The castle's plan, a circular floor with round towers attached to it somewhat like the Herodion, a 15 BCE hilltop palace in the West Bank, that was also circular and had a large principal tower and three minor towers as well. They are attached while the principal one is coupled to the complex by a high bridge over the surrounding moat.
The Castle has clear Islamic influences in its original design, displaying double Arches characteristic of Andalusian Architecture, a part of the fortification was built by architect Pere Salvà, who also worked in the construction of the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, together with other master masons between 1300 and 1311 for King James II of Aragon and Majorca." - wikipedia
"The Alhambra (/ælˈhæmbrə/, Spanish: [aˈlambɾa]; Arabic: الْحَمْرَاء, romanized: al-ḥamrāʼ ) is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It is one of the most famous monuments of Islamic architecture and one of the best-preserved palaces of the historic Islamic world, in addition to containing notable examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture.
The complex was begun in 1238 by Muhammad I Ibn al-Ahmar, the first Nasrid emir and founder of the Emirate of Granada, the last Muslim state of Al-Andalus. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The architecture of the Nasrid palaces reflects the tradition of Moorish architecture developed over previous centuries. It is characterized by the use of the courtyard as a central space and basic unit around which other halls and rooms were organized. Courtyards typically had water features at their centre, such as a reflective pool or a fountain." - wikipedia

It,s called Castille for the castles
I explain about the castle of mallorca. In mallorca there are no rivers and the water from fountains is not always accessible, otherwise the water collectors are used.
In the center of the castle there is a cistern that indicates that in the subsoil there is a large cistern to store rainwater.
That is why the roof tiles of the castle, if you see them in the picture, are quite inclined to help the water to go down.
@markosabernal4613 - Thanks for expaining that! Makes sense.
En España hay 10.000 fortalezas y Castillos censados ,un saludo cordial...
Por cierto juego de tronos a rodado varios capítulos en algunos de ellos , el desembarco del Rey es uno de ellos...👍
Spain is astonishing!. U may check out the Spanish Cathedrals and Palaces😍🇪🇦❤️
I have a spanish cathedral video publishing today!
@@Average_Middle_Aged_American Nice, I'll watch it!👍🏻
There are about 700 castles and strongholds in Aragón region, and a list of the few most important ones, Loarre castle is the first on the list, i personally know another one on the list, Mequinenza castle, it was restored in 1959 and even decorated to resemble its glory times, as happened with the other castles, they brought stonemasons from around the country to rebuild it, and during the restoration they made an extra bedroom carving in the exterior wall
Deberias ver los grandes monasterios y Catedrales, como Montserrat, Guadalupe, el Escorial, Samos, Roncesvalles, Calatrava, catedrales de Burgos, Sevilla, santiago, Toledo,Córdoba, León, Burgo de Osma, Tarragona, Mallorca, etc.etc. saludos.
Howdy! I think I have figured out how to post my video on Mezquita, Córdoba , León Cathedral , Basilica of St. Isidoro , Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela , Burgos Cathedral , Toledo Cathedral , Sevilla Cathedral , and Sagrada Família, Barcelona. I should be able to publish it soon. Thanks for checking out my channel!
El castillo de Loarre, es un castillo medieval construido sobre un asentamiento romano en los años 1023 y siguientes y es uno de los mejores conservados de su estilo en Europa. Ridley Scott lo eligió para el rodaje de la película Kingdom of Heaven.
1023! Amazing! Thanks for commenting!
Como el de Medellin, o el de Santa Barbara en Alicante, eran de Origen Romano pero luego llegaron Visigodos, después Árabes y después Cristianos y los fueron remodelando, aunque el de Medellin mantiene mas su estilo antiguo, la Alcazaba de Málaga también Fue Cartaginesa, luego Romana, Visigodos y Árabes, al Final la reconquista Cristiana, España era zona tambien de las Cruzadas.
España fue el Imperio más grande que ha habido, por favor.
Seguro que habría un pozo de aguas subterráneas 😂 en Mallorca hay una gran Cordillera llamada de Tramuntana, de ahi saldria toda el agua.😊
La lluvia en Sevilla, España,
Es una maravilla.😂
Its normal when you think about europe you think about england, france, italy. I hope we can do better in Spain to make it change a bit.
El castillo de Bellver en Mallorca fue construido como residencia real. En el centro del patio hay un brocal de cisterna por lo que en el subsuelo debe haber un aljibe para almacenar agua. En cualquier caso debe haber algún sistema para recoger aguas
Makes sense. Thanks!
Well, you can have your preferences about European countries and architecture, but you should know that Spain it's in the TOP 3 of UNESCO Heritage List and 15 cities as UNESCO Heritage Places. That's facts.
I'll try to add a link in other comment about this, bc if you likes castles and fortress, you need to see the Motilla del Azuer, the Copper Age city of Los Millares and its fortress around, and the great walls of the Argar culture city of La Bastida de Totana.

This it's Motilla del Azuer. It's wrote in Spanish, but I can translate it if you need it.
YT deleted the links, what a pity. Try to find something of this.
It's a shame that your reaction to the video on cathedrals in Spain was taken down. I would have watched that.
I think it will be published tomorrow. I did some editing and added some background music. Not perfect but should pass.
Nevermind, just got copyrighted again.
Hola, lo primero disculpas por escribir en español, no se ingles. He visto a varias personas que hacen reacciones que ponen los videos como si los vieses en un espejo, al parecer así el sistema que tiene YT no los detecta para hacer saltar el copyright.
Howdy from America!
Thanks for the information!
I don´t know why Peñiscola Castle is in that list... is very small and is full of new buildings , I would have put the castle of "la mota from Valladolid" instead or "Manzanares del real on Madrid" or "los templarios in Ponferrada"...I mean theres a lot better than that one.
I will have to check them out!

Of course you have a European culture. You literally speak an European language therefore you are at least europeanised. You've an Anglo culture, a western cosmo vision like literally everybody in the Americas 😂 You may have certain elements proper to Americans but basically quite European by heritage. Sorry for the realism
Thanks for checking out my channel!
It would be better if we didnt have to watch and hear you for so long 😢
Well., these are reaction videos, so you get my...
REACTION.
