Everything is a ruin, they are raising the walls, there is nothing inside

Nice spot here to take in the surroundings. Nice walk there. You can taste the history. The contours of the castle are clearly visible, neat and clean. Beautiful views, despite the somewhat bad weather. Good view of the sea, good overview of the old town. Very quiet on the street.

Beautiful town of Maestrazgo. The castle fortress is very interesting, they are currently restoring it. If you are in the area, you cannot miss it.

The castle is a little hidden treasure, at the top of a charming town with very welcoming people. You can visit and walk around the whole thing, and we were told it was under restoration... At least the parts at risk were well protected. From the top you can enjoy an imposing view that is well worth the climb. Don't hesitate to stop for a bite and a drink at one of the village's eateries on your way down. We visited the castle at sunset, with wonderful light and stunning views of the surroundings. At night, the castle is lit up and the view from below is stunning!

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.
