Panorama Of Andrade's Castle Galicia Spain

A ruined tower rises from a sea of autumn color, its weathered stone the last standing fragment of a medieval Galician stronghold. Shot as a wide panorama under a restless, cloud-streaked sky, the image lets the castle sit small within the landscape it once commanded.

The castle takes its name from Fernan Perez de Andrade, a Galician knight of the 14th century known for his loyalty to Henry II of Castile and his rise to become one of the most powerful lords in the region. A patron of the Church as well as a seasoned soldier, he left behind a scattering of fortresses and monasteries across Galicia, this tower among the few surviving traces of that turbulent, feudal century.
