Travel back in time to explore the drafty corridors of a medieval castle.
In Eyewitness Castle, find out how medieval fortresses were built, defended, and lived in. Uncover the secrets behind the castle walls, from the daily lives of knights and nobles to the high-stakes drama of a siege.

Examine the intricate carvings on a noble’s badge or the lethal edge of a crossbow bolt. Explore every corner, from the high towers where guards kept watch to the damp, dark dungeons below.
