Moorish castles

those are moorish?

 

[smokeurobinson]

I think its cool to admire seeing a building like this but when I see the inscribed images I cant help but to ask. Why do we just admire and not acknowledge what the inscribed images on this particular building represent?


I see Isis(auset) and Toth(tehuti) on this building yet we never really acknowledge what they represent. I think the time is now to start acknowledge what the represent.

 

[Diondon]

those are moorish?

yeah

 

[dennis roadman]

yeah

"On Willis’ Rd, the way down to town from the northern end of the Rock, you’ll find the remains of the Moorish Castle, rebuilt in 1333 after being won back from the Spanish."

got you

the first one you posted is in the same town as castle of the moors

this is castle of the moors

this is Palácio da Pena (built by europeans)

Pena clearly has influence from moorish architecture tho (it's a few KM from COTM), as much as it does european imo

 

[Neuromancer]
