GANADORA en concurso THE BEST OF THE MONTH en The Best of Portugal & España, Agosto 2010

Este era un trabajo, que tenia en mente desde hace tiempo. al final como todo, llega. En esta dedicatoria no puede falta una persona a que prometi hacer hacerle dicha dedicatoria, no es otra que mi amigo Rikki Nadir, además recibe todo mi apoyo publico en estos momentos. Va por ti!!

Panoramica compuesta por dos tomas, de la cara norte del Alcázar visto desde el rio.

La situación del Alcázar de Segovia, sobre una roca labrada por los ríos Eresma y Clamores, indica el origen militar de esta fortaleza durante siglos inexpugnable.

El testimonio más antiguo de la existencia del Alcázar de Segovia es un documento de principios del siglo XII, fechado en 1122, poco después de la reconquista de la ciudad por Alfonso VI, que menciona la fortaleza como un castro sobre el Eresma. En una carta algo posterior (1155) ya se le da el nombre de Alcázar. No obstante, es muy probable que la fortificación existiese en tiempos más remotos, quizá desde la dominación romana, pues en recientes excavaciones se ha encontrado sillares de granito análogos a los del Acueducto. En la Edad Media, el Alcázar, tanto por la belleza de su situación y su indiscutible seguridad militar, como por la proximidad a famosos cazaderos en los bosques serranos, se convirtió en una de las residencias favoritas de los Reyes de Castilla.

WINNER in THE BEST OF THE MONTH contest in The Best of Portugal & España, Agosto 2010

The site of the Alcazar of Segovia, on the top of a rock shaped by the rivers Eresma and Clamores, shows the military origins of this fortress which, for centuries, was impregnable.

The oldest testimony we have of the Alcázar is a document dating from the early days of the 12th century (1122), a short time after the town had been recaptured by Alfonso VI, which refers to the fortress as a hill-fort on the Eresma. A short time later, in a letter of 1155, it was already being referred to as "Alcázar". However, it is more than probable that the fortress had existed in earlier times, possibly since the Roman occupation, because granite blocks similar to those of the Aqueduct have been found in the course of recent excavations. In residencies of the monarchs of Castile, partly due to the beauty of its location and its unquestionable military secureness, and partly for its proximity to the famous hunting-grounds in the mountain forests.
