Question Hii, I have a powere point due in 10 minutes and I need to know why was alcazar Castle built??
Answer Dear Emily - thanks for your question. Preparation is the key to everything - so how did your Presentation go? (I regret, experts are not sitting by their computers waiting for questions, so I apologise I was not able to respond to your emergency in time!) Perhaps the question is now moot - or you found the answer you needed.
Alcazar castle in Segovia, Spain, was first mentioned in records dating back to 1122 as a hill-fort set atop a rocky outcrop between the rivers Bergsma and Clamores. By 1155 this hill-fort became known as “Alcazar”, which in Arabic meant royal residence.
