Hi Pedro.
88 towers? Wow, that must be some castle, or citadel perhaps would be more appropriate. Lovely looking building, and it seems unusual to have two different types of crenellations on the walls too, I wonder if this is down to different times of construction? The stones in the gateway seem to be quite round and of different color to the other tower too.

Great shot, and I like the grey sky to show off the red stone too.
Cheers
Noel

Hello Pedro,

I have made a workshop for a little bit the slope to both side to disappeared.
Your picture is nice sharp and clear taken.
Composition and presentation be superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John

Great breadth has been covered in the photograph. Exposure is nice too. A nitpick: perspective needs minor correction :)
