Spain is a magical country, and I always feel that this country can give people the feeling of a thousand faces. Here, you can feel the warmth, freedom, vitality, depth and connotation. There is such a castle in Spain, she is as beautiful as an oil painting, and I feel that few people in China have visited this castle. She is the Castle of Coloma res, a castle dedicated to the great explorer Christopher Columbus.
If you've ever visited the castle, or read about it from the sources, you'll be blown away by the spectacular stone look! Yes, Coroma Rest Castle, can be said to be a pure handmade castle, that brick and tile are built by hand, may also be due to the relatively backward reasons at that time, so the raw materials of the building are more primitive. Despite this, there is no advanced construction technology, but it just highlights the advantages of the whole castle to the fullest!
It is hard to imagine that an architectural design like this could be the hand of a talented architect in Spain?! But the fact is that the Castle of Coromaretes was built by a Spanish doctor who admired Columbus very much. Seeing this, do your friends feel very incredible? Xiaobian also has the same feeling, haha. It is said that this doctor, who existed many years ago, was extremely disappointed to find that none of the buildings were commemorating the idols he worshipped in his heart, and built this "stone" castle!
The castle that was built covers a large area, about 5,000 feet. Every detail in the castle is carved with the deeds of Columbus's sailing journey! Columbus's expedition was indeed great, but I think the Spanish doctor who built this castle is also great! With stones and sculptures, he can tell the world about the hardships of Columbus's journey to discover the American continent. It can be seen that the doctor's respect for Columbus is so big and so deep! Walking into this complex, you can't help but marvel at the exquisite carvings inside the castle, inscriptions, statues, decorations and carefully cultivated gardens, which make people feel the greatness of the art of design.
Inside the Castle of Coloma Retes there is a sculpture of a ship representing Columbus's expedition. Looking back at the long history of Spain, the King of Spain supported and established an expedition led by Columbus, according to the editor, this expedition fleet is composed of three fleets of "Santa Maria", "Nya" and "Pinta". On the ship of the Pinta there is a horse's head made of bronze, which can be imagined as a symbol of the sailor. Looking at the momentum of this bronze statue, you can imagine the grand scene of Columbus setting sail to sea.
This castle is designed by the builders according to their own understanding of art, history, and architecture, and the editor also said in the previous paragraph that the construction of the castle is purely hand-built, brick by brick and tile are created by hand. Although it seems to be relatively backward, after a combination of several architectural styles, the castle appears to be more and more artistic. Unexpectedly, the Castle of Koromaretes uses simple stones, a "ubiquitous" material, but can skillfully collide several styles together, and I have to lament that the builder's intentions and vision are so unique! It also makes the castle's status in the world so unique and unique.
Then turn to the interior of the castle, where visitors can stand on the bow of the ship symbolizing santa Maria and overlook the entire view at the foot of the castle. In addition, in the small observation deck, this beautiful Mediterranean scenery that belongs only to Spain on a thousand faces is also in full view. The elements of castles are so diverse that they are not found in many of the castles we know well in other European countries.
After seeing the "Stone" castle in Spain, do you feel that the charm of this country is more than that? If you also have a unique side of Spain, you can also share it with xiaobian after reading it.
