Each tower is so huge and to think that there were 24, wow! I just read your post that you may be in Maui!

If all those ...Hi Sandra, I totally agree with you. If all those towers were as big as the ones remaining, that Fortress was mighty tough to over take! The other theory behind the name of the wine gate was that people would leave their wine there to avoid taxation on them. Can you imagine! If it were that way today, the wine would be gone in a hot second! :)<BR/><BR/>Glad you liked the photos Sandra.

I'm sure that your mom's photos are terrific and I'm sure she will enjoy sharing them with you.<BR/><BR/>I sort of wonder how the Alcazaba looked like with those 24 towers too! <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much Anne!

It's just incredible to think about people building these amazing and huge structures so long ago when they basically just had man power to do the work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
