A wonderful vew from my window.

It´s eight o´clock in the morning, and the day is starting. In the air/[environment] floats the fragrance of an orange blossom odor. In front of me, I can see a Moorish/Muslim castle, the same castle that, many centuries ago, Ibn Mardanis (Wolf King for Christian people) built at the top of a hill.

The castle is called "Monteagudo", because this name is the same as that of the village is placed [at the bottom of]/below the castle. In the middle of the XIIth century it was an important fortification; also it was also the summer palace and, after the Christian conquest, it became the residence of the Christian governors until the XIVth century.

The "hisn", or fortress layout, is adapted to the terrain, [approaching]/using the possible defensive elements of the hill. It is divides into two different parts: one surrounding the lower rocky part of the hill, with twelve rectangular and square towers and several water-tanks, and the other one, which is the proper castle*, without a tower keep or an inner ward. In this part there are five turrets, [characterized by the proximity between them]/situated close together, and the similarity in style to the walls, jutting out slightly/[just a little bit] from them/[the general layout of the walls].   * or  'castle proper'

At/Crowning the top of the fortress there is another important feature/aspect (in the scenery): an impressive sculpture of Christ or Sacred Heart, (that crowns it), which measuringes fourteen meters.

Nowadays it´s only a part of decoration in the vista/scenery, because the fortress is in ruinsous.

The castle is called "Monteagudo" because the name is the same as the village located at the bottom of the castle. In the middle of the XII century it was an important fort (with strong fortifications ), as well as a summer palace and, after the christian conquest ,it became the residence of the christian governors until XIV century.

The "hisn" or fortress layout is adapted to the terrain, complementing the possible defensive elements of the hill.

It is divided into two diferent parts: one part surrounding the lower rocky part of the hill, with twelve rectangular and square towers, and several water-tanks ; the other one , which is the castle proper, has no tower keep or an inner ward.

In this part there are five turrets, which are characterized by their proximity and their similarites to the walls, jutting out just a little bit from the general layout of the walls.

At the top of the fortress, there is another important ( physical ) aspect in the scenery: an impressive sculpture of Christ or Sacred Heart that crowns it, which measures fourteen meters. 
 
Nowadays, it´s only a feature in the scenery since the fortress is ruinous.
