Description

Ancient hilltop fortresses, crusader citadels and medieval castles - their stories are etched into the stones that remain. Abandoned Castles explores over 100 forts, strongholds and defensive structures from around the globe, spanning centuries of history. From Japan's ancient stone keeps to Spanish colonial forts in West Africa, each site offers a unique glimpse into the past. Many have fallen silent, their walls now bearing witness to battles long past. Others stand proudly, testaments to wars that shaped the world we live in today. With 150 outstanding colour photographs, this book is a visual journey through time. The result is a fascinating pictorial examination of castles, forts and defensive fortifications from ancient times to the end of the nineteenth century.
