We celebrated our wedding here (L and LD) two weeks ago and it was the most beautiful day of our lives. A beautiful place, highly recommended, the food is exquisite, very good cuisine (the best in Cáceres and Extremadura), the workers are all very friendly and charming and very attentive to the couple (Abel, Cristian and Pablo, three wonderful people, very pleasant and great professionals) and the guests who did not lack anything (Pilar, Abel, Cristian). Very good organization, good attention, kindness and kindness (Paco and Lucy), both charming people. Thank you all for making our wedding day the best day of our lives, which we will always remember. It was beautiful, spectacular, nothing was missing, the family was delighted with the place, with the food, with the workers. If we had to celebrate another event it would certainly be with you again. Thank you for everything from the bottom of my heart. Luis

I give 4 stars because, being privately owned, we have not asked permission to see the inside, we were just passing through. You have to leave the La Plata highway to go to Valdesalor. And so, going along the old N630 you find yourself right next to the road. Access is easy. It is from the 15th and 16th centuries, it is arranged inside for weddings and other celebrations, on the outside it is spectacular. It is worth the small detour, and almost immediately afterward is the other castle, Arguijuelas de Arriba.

It was a very special day in an incredible place. Everything turned out perfect. Thanks to Lucio, Cristian and Paco for their professionalism, treatment and dedication. Our guests were delighted and we were even more so. The food was abundant and delicious. We couldn't have chosen better. Thank you

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
