Since 2014, the AFAR Program at Davidson Day has had the very special opportunity to conduct archaeological research at the medieval castle of Zorita de los Canes in central Spain. This impressive but seldom-noted fortress served as the backdrop for many important moments in Spain’s rich history. The castle began as a Moorish fortress more than 1200 years ago but, apart from its walls, almost all of the construction dates between the 12th and 16th centuries.
