Castles of the World
www.castles.org
Every man's home is his castle. Castles, fortresses and monasteries - you will
find them all at Castles.org. This site features castles and fortifications from
all over the world. While the site has a huge list of medieval castles some of
the buildings featured are newer than you might expect, the castles in the USA
and Canada for instance could hardly be considered ancient when most of them
are a mere 200 years old. The homepage has a featured castle of the week selected
from the global database. |
