The Castle of Zahara de los Atunes and Palace of Jadraza (Spanish: ''El Castillo de Zahara de los Atunes. Palacio de la Jadraza'') is a medieval castle on Spain's coast. Located in Barbate and Zahara de los Atunes, Spain, it protected the local Almadraba tuna traps as well as having a wider strategic role. Ti is known by several alternative names including ''Fortaleza o Castillo de la Chanca, Fortaleza y Casa Chanca, Palacio de las Pilas, Castillo de Jadraza & Palacio Real de la Almadraba''. ==History== In 1294, King Sancho IV of Castile granted a licence to Don Alonso Pérez de Guzmán to build traps for tuna fishing in reward for his heroic defense of Tarifa. This activity in this area has a history dating back to Phoenician and Roman times. Guzman fisheries in Zahara de los Atunes and Conil de la Frontera were for centuries the most productive in Europe provoking the development of important auxiliary buildings. The Palace served three functions: as a fortified castle to protect against Barbary pirates, a residential palace during the Tuna Season and a processing plant to deal with the tuna. Its location at a strategic point of the Strait of Gibraltar has been given prominence in numerous historical events, and it maintains a continued presence in coastal mapping. In the twentieth century the building was used by the fishing industry before becoming a barracks. The building was declared ''Bien de Interés Cultural'' in 2004. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castle of Zahara de los Atunes and Palace of Jadraza」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
