Fortaleza Del Sol (Fortress of the Sun) LORCA

 

cc

Many centuries of history have passed through Lorca castle. Many settlers have taken advantage of its excellent situation as a lookout post over the city.

The hill  dates back to Prehistoric times. From the 8th century onwards Alcazada de Lurqa, the Islamic name of the city, would become an important military bastion.
