The Marines pot / Olocau is a fairly hidden but very dear to me. Is in the Sierra Calderona siuado and whenever he passed by with my bike TT, overwhelmed me.
This is his story:
TOWER POT is in the desert of the same name, located in the Serra Calderona, about 5 kms. north of the Barranco del Carraixet, in a place of great natural beauty. It was a farmhouse Islamic
(Qaryat al-Ulya, "AlquerÃa Up"), recaptured at the same time as the rest of the territory and later shared his historical adventures with Marines. The site must meet certain prosperity, according to the irrigation systems used and the large pond that collected water, as well as the many graves have been discovered. Inhabited after the Reconquista continued, even after the expulsion of the Moors, which explains the existence of buildings dating from the late s. Eighteenth and early nineteenth century, a period in which the village would definitely deserted.
The tower, which has undergone several changes over its history, was the defensive element of the farm, and while protecting its inhabitants and their property was integrated into the system alert and watch the Royal Castle, a whose view was. Constructed of stone masonry rodeno, abundant in these parts, the plant is square. Has attached a two storey building in post-Reconquista bill, whose second floor is the only entrance to the tower. Originally it was accessed by a wooden ladder or rope, which could be easily removed in case of danger.
The combination stated BIC, is in a state of semirruina and urges consolidation and rehabilitation.
Just my imagination, but being here gives me a sense of mystery and drama.
is what I wanted to represent in my picture, convey all those feelings.
Another thing is to get it, clear.
