«El castillo» is the historical novel by Luis Zueco, published by B de Bolsillo in paperback (696 pages, in Spanish).
The novel recounts how King Sancho III the Great drove the construction of the castle-abbey of Loarre, on the Aragonese frontier of the 11th century, and the epic of the men and women who raised it: a Lombard master builder, Juan the carpenter with his son Fortún, Ava the archer, the ambitious Javierre and the mysterious Eneca, among others. Amid intrigues and challenges, the work reconstructs the collective effort that gave rise to a key fortress in the Reconquista.
First instalment of Luis Zueco's Medieval Trilogy, set in 11th-century Aragon. The book belongs to the publisher's Fiction collection.
Recommended for readers of medieval historical fiction and monumental construction plots, such as The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
