Moorish Castle

Okay kiddo, let's talk about Moorish castle! Imagine a huge building made of rocks and stones with towers as tall as trees. That's what a Moorish castle looks like.

Now, these castles were built a long time ago in Spain and Portugal by a group called the Moors. They were people who came from North Africa and conquered those lands.

The castle was made to be a place where the Moors could keep themselves safe from enemies. They built the walls really thick and tall so that no one could break in easily.

The castle had many rooms where the Moors could live, eat, pray, and even fight if they needed to. It also had a big courtyard where they could have fun and play games.

The castle was very important to the Moors because it was their home and their stronghold. But as time passed, the Moors were no longer in power and other people took over the castle and made changes to it.

People still visit the Moorish Castle today to see what it looks like and imagine what it was like to live there a long time ago.
