About the artwork / The inspiration
The Castle of Silves is a castle in the civil parish of Silves in the municipality of Silves in the Portuguese Algarve. It is believed that the first fortifications were built upon a possible Lusitanian castro, by the Romans or Visigoths. Between the 8th and 13th centuries, the castle was occupied by the Arabs, who expanded it, making it one of the best-preserved Arab fortifications in Portugal, resulting in its classification as a National Monument in 1910.
