I’d LOVE to see inside of one of those fortresses! I can’t imagine living in a time like that. We’re all so used to having our own homes and separate lives.
Sounds like a fantastic trip! I would love to go and a guided tour to be able to understand the history and culture and meet modern locals would be so educational too.
