Robust, romantic and imposing, castles capture our imagination when
we were children and continue to hold interest throughout our
lives. From Europe to Haiti, from India to Japan, Castles of the
World explores forts, strongholds, towers and citadels from the
ancient world up to the 20th century. Entries range from well-known
examples such as Corfe Castle in England, the crusader stronghold
of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria and the romantic palace of
Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, to lesser-known curiosities such as the
Genoese Fortress in the Crimea, Rudkhan Castle in Iran and Morro
Castle in Havana. Arranged chronologically, each entry includes a
striking colour photograph and expert text briefly telling the
story of the castle's history. Built, rebuilt and expanded many
times, castles often don't just tell us about one period in
history, but about many different times. They offer us layers of
history - and sometimes mystery, too. With 200 outstanding colour
photographs, Castles of the World is a beautiful examination of
worlds gone by.
