Silves
The outer defenses were built in the early years of Islamic occupation, in the 8th century, in the early years of Muslim rule over the region, having reached its peak in the 11th century, when Silves became the capital of a taifa,a type of autonomous kingdom. The citadel was probably built much later, during the Almohad Caliphate (1121 - 1269).

Once a country is taken over, the aggressors know they will be driven out.... hence all the defense building, I believe.

Beautiful image indeed HWW and Best wishes
