Castelo de Leiria - Pack 1

The castle that built a kingdom. Afonso Henriques fought to take it twice - losing it to the Almohad Caliphate in 1137 and 1139 before finally reclaiming it in 1142, the year he granted Leiria its municipal charter. These shots capture the fortress from the base approach: stone archways, worn battlements, and the hillside that's held its ground for nine centuries. 3 high-resolution files, instant download.
