Castle of Sant Joan or La Suda, Tortosa, Tarragona, Spain. The 10th century Castle of Sant Joan was built by Muslim Caliph Abd ar-Rahman III. It was conquered in 1148 and became residence of the Montcada and Knights Templar, then a royal mansion from the 13th century. It has a 45m deep well reaching the river Ebre. The main tower is seen here over the rooftops of the old town of Tortosa. Picture by Manuel Cohen
