Castles Throughout Time - Travel Video.  Goldhil Home Media.  5 Volume, Gift Boxed Set.  VHS.

"Castles Throughout Time" visits and explores the history behind castles along the shores of the Mediterranean built between the second century B.C. through the nineteenth century A.D.  This beautiful series combines stunning photography, rich textures, captivating stories and vivid reenactments to provide a visual ambiance and bring to life a magnificent era.

Castles Throughout Time is a series about the history of castles from their origins until the present.  The Castles were the product of European Medieval society, and they developed and expanded throughout the Mediterranean region.  Occupying more than 500 kilometers of the eastern coast of Spain, it is not surprising that the Valencia region was a popular entry point for invaders from the Mediterranean.

This beautiful five volume set includes:

VOLUME ONE

Sagunto, City of Discord
It was here where the Romans first entered Spain, the Old Hispania, after the heroic resistance of the inhabitants of the city of Sagunto, in second century B.C., against the armies of the Carthaginian General Hannibal.

Allah Is Great!
Upon arrival on the Valencia coast in the year 713 A.D., the Muslims built the first castles in the Spanish Peninsula.  The signing of a pact with the Visigoth governor, Theodomirus, facilitated the relocation of the Muslims.  However, the conditions of the pact were not agreed upon until the Muslim’s arrival to Valencia.

VOLUME TWO

Denia, The Guardian of the Day
In 8th century, Hispania would be known as Al Andalus and would reach its golden age between the 10th and 11th centuries.  Such was the power of the small kingdom of Denia, that its control of trade reached out over the whole western Mediterranean.  Its lord and master, the brilliant Muyahid, in his seaboard castle, surrounded himself with a court of wise men, intellectuals and poets formed by Muslims, Christians and Jews from far and wide.

From Africa They Will Come

The expansionist drives of the Feudal European kingdoms, as well as the conquests of the legendary “The Cid”, spelled the end of the Almoravids and later the Almohades.  The country of Al-Andalus became part of a vast Muslim empire with its capital in Marrekesh, Morocco.  These fanatical Islamic warriors reinforced the castles along the Valencia coast in a desperate bid to ward off the inevitable.

Don Jaime For Valencia

The Almoravides and the Almohades were clearly not strong enough to stop the feudal knights.  Under the auspices of Aragonese King James I, with the church solidly behind him, they conquered these lands in less than a decade.  Founding and colonizing in the year 1238, the new kingdom of Valencia became what is now the community of Valencia.

VOLUME THREE

Lions in War, Sheep in the Cloister

In this episode, the history of the castles is directly linked to the origin and development of the old Templar, Hospitaller, Santiago and Montesa Knight Orders, who gave their lives to defend the sacred grounds of Christian Jerusalem.

The Dance of Death
“There was a time when life revolved around the castle, from it governed the nobility, and above it, only God’s heaven extended.”  This documentary is a journey through the Middle Ages.  All the words and opinions expressed in it have been reproduced from the texts of the period.  The words speak for themselves.

Belts of Stone

From the destruction of the biblical city of Jericho to the Roman Empire from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, cities fortified by circles of stone were to be silent witnesses of the evolution of mankind.  The guardians of the progress of society.

VOLUME FOUR

Once Upon a Time

A trip through time, through the mythology that surrounds the castles and their habitants.  The castle is intrinsically connected to fantasy.  Even a part of a tower or wall is sufficient to conjure up in the visitor’s mind, a grandiose world of tournaments, princes, witches, secret passageways and dungeons.

Sentinels of the Sea

The expansion of the Turkish Empire and the possible loss of control of the Mediterranean in the 16th century led the Spanish Emperor Philip II to order the building of watchtowers and fortifications to defend the coasts.  This strategy was to be repeated along the coasts of Central American and the Philippines.

VOLUME FIVE

Iron and the Fire

The first conflicts between the emerging English Empire and the French were fought in the Mediterranean against the backdrop of an imperial Spain in decline.  A once glorious empire was now having to defend itself in international conflicts like the War of Succession in the 18th century, or the War of Independence against the French in the 19th century.

Travelers and Fortresses

Castles played a vital role in times of war and peace.  The arrival of the Industrial Revolution and new strategies in modern warfare led to the abandonment of these ancient fortresses, testament of a time that is no more.  The portraits of the region drawn by travelers of days gone by have helped us to understand and appreciate the evolution of the castles and the landscape that surrounds them.
