  • Banos de la Encima Castle, Banos de la Encina, Spain
    The impressive silhouette of the castle of Bury al-Hamma dominates the rural landscape of the town of Baños de la Encina, flanked by a robust and crenellated wall with fourteen towers, plus a fifteenth or Christian Tower of Tribute, the castle has hardly suffered damage, constituting, therefore, the best preserved fortified complex of the Almohad era, while being one of the best preserved Muslim castles in all of Spain. Already in the Copper Age (prehistory), the first vestiges of occupation of the site of the Castillo de Baños appear, in its interior, strong Iberian walls and a funerary mausoleum of a sacred character, give way to an Almohad urban complex (12th century), In addition to a double “water ark” or cistern. The construction of the castle was as simple as it was durable, the walls rise from a tapial with a high proportion of lime, earth, Chinese river and water. 15 square towers form this colossus with a peculiar oval shape adapting its construction to the flush Cerro del Cueto. After the excavations carried out, the Muslim presence from the emiral period can be verified, being the Castle, along with others nearby, rigid control of the Sierra Morena passages and the Guadiel depression during the 12th century. It became definitely Castilian after the take in 1225 by Fernando III, adding the alcazarejo, wrapping and raising by stone one of the Arab towers, giving rise to the Tower of Homage or Fat Beacon. It was declared a National Monument in 1931.

La visita ha estado bien salvo un detalle que dos de los visitantes preguntaron “ por que las vírgenes tienen una media luna a los pies”? A lo que la guia respondió : “ La media luna simboliza la igualdad entre el hombre y la mujer” Muy actual la respuesta, que progresistas eran en esa época… Me parece una falta a de respeto hacia los visitantes y hacia su nivel cultural. Por si desconoce la guía la razón es esta: Después de la victoria de Lepanto, la cristiandad gustó interpretar el creciente de luna bajo los pies de la Virgen como un símbolo de la victoria de la cruz sobre la media luna turca. Así, se ha visto en la media luna bajo los pies de María un modo de resaltar el triunfo del cristianismo. Así es la historia… y así debería haberla contado

Una visita fantástica. El guía explicó cada una de las obras de arte de forma apasionante, didáctica y entretenida. Muy recomendable hacer esta visita.

Muy buena atención por parte de Encina, donde lo explicó todo muy bien y nos enseñó un par de vídeos de lo que íbamos a visitar. Dentro está el centro de interpretación con dos plantas donde enseñan los aperos de labranza y civilizaciones antiguas. Compramos las tres visitas guiadas y nos gustó mucho.
