This collection of aerial photographs of some 120 castles means that we will never see history or architecture through the same eyes again. With spectacular examples from all over Europe, and the Near East the birds-eye views give a totally new perspective on the skills and ingenuity of the medieval engineers and builders of these massive strongholds. Grim and beautiful in turn, magnificent and resplendent or touchingly modest and partly ruined, these buildings are one of the most romantic and powerful of our cultural legacies, and this book shows them as never before.
