Calatrava la Nueva - Spain
Calatrava la Nueva is a medieval castle, situated on a hill above the plains of Castilla-La Mancha in central Spain. The castle and convent here were home to a religious order of knights – the Order of Calatrava. They waged war against the Moorish population of Spain and helped with the reconquest and unification of Spain.
The castle lies in a barren land, mainly scrubland and has a commanding view of the surrounding countryside. Little of the castle remains intact aside from the huge gateways and curtain wall.
