Denia Arab Castle April 6, 2009

NOTE: If you are viewing the slide shows on the blog for the first time you may want to click on the first one posted in May which shows the pictures in the order that they were taken beginning in Barcelona, Spain on April 2, 2009.

In the afternoon of April 6th, we ventured up to the famous Arab Castle in Denia. In the Middle Ages is was briefly the capital of its own Moorish Kingdom. There was evidence of a large fortress with interior gardens and Arab baths. The walk through the castle was our first glimpse of how old many structures of Europe are bound to be. We enjoyed the archaeological museum which is in the process of collecting and cataloging finds from the current archaeological digs. The views of Denia and the fishing port were beautiful from atop the castle walls.
