Door Arabic in Medinaceli

|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish] |
(Soria, Spain) Also called gate and the town is access to the west of Medinaceli, in principle, was one of the four doors (of the street Kardo) primitive Roman camp, he had to be rebuilt and slightly varied in their Arabic position at the time and hence its name, but the numerous reforms have changed in recent centuries their appearance. It is possible that in the twelfth century when the Warrior Alfonso I definitely conquer these lands, reform. In 1370 Medinaceli loses its status as an independent council and now belong to Bernal of Bearne, it comes back to the walled city for their defence, it may then acquire its appearance ojival. The last reform of the twentieth century, in 1969.
Next to it were established markets on numerous occasions given the dearth of large spaces within the city. |

hi josep
this shot is so simple, but so beautiful. i like the framing. the combination of shadow and light is well captured. however, i feel that you should not have let the sky peep through the top left corner of the picture. good work done...
cheers
