8. The Alcazar of Segovia (Spain)
萨戈维亚皇宫城堡(西班牙)
Spain revels in epic fortresses on seemingly unassailable hilltops – the incomparable Alhambra in Granada is an obvious example. But look further north, to the town of Segovia in Castile and Léon – where your eyes are greeted by the spectacle that is the Alcazar. Ancient in origin – there was a fortress on this swarthy hillock in the Roman era, - its sophisticated outline took form in the 16th century under King Philip II, when its broad gardens were designed by the architect Francisco de Morar. The castle supposedly resembles a ship’s bow – a description that, if anything, does its grandeur a disservice. It is also meant to be the inspiration for the “Cinderella Castle” at Disney World in Orlando.
西班牙在很多地势险要的山头上都修建了史诗般牢不可破的堡垒,格拉纳达盖世无双的阿尔罕布拉宫就是一个明显的例子。但是,再往北边去,到达卡斯提尔莱昂大自治区的塞哥维亚,你将能看到萨戈维亚皇宫城堡。这座城堡的起源非常古老,早在罗马时代,这个黑黝黝的山头上就已经建起一座堡垒,升级版城堡是在16世纪腓力二世统治期间建造的,当时城堡内的巨大花园是由建筑师弗朗西斯科•莫勒设计的。据说建筑师的本意是让城堡看起来像一艘船的船头,这种描述恐怕会让城堡的宏伟感觉大打折扣。美国奥兰多迪士尼世界中的“灰姑娘城堡”原本打算以它为原型。
