One of Spain's most recognizable castles overlooks a moat-shaped ravine in Segovia, about an hour northeast of Madrid. It was the abode of Ferdinand and Isabel, the Catholic Kings who ruled over the final days of the reconquest. It was also here that Christopher Columbus first met with Queen Isabel regarding her financing his trip to the Indies, which of course, resulted in the discovery of America.
Here are some shots taken during the day and at night. As a side note, David and Melissa were carried the 152 steps up the circular stone stairs to the top. Steve also climbed up the stairs with me in 2007 when we visited Spain.
