The History of Castles is the ultimate illustrated guide to the world's most fascinating castles and strongholds.

He also provides a thorough look at the architectural history and function of these proud strongholds. Featuring nearly 200 beautiful full-color photographs, 30 reconstructions, and 70 detailed maps--plus more than 70 new illustrations unique to this paperback edition--The History of Castles is the ideal book for history enthusiasts, vacation planners, and anyone enamored by these breathtaking buildings.
