[QUOTE="scruffy1, post: 182341, member: 10031"] One last somewhat pedantic word-the Templar castle was only Templar for 20 years and with the dissolution of the Order in 1312, passed into other hands. The structure then passed through different landlords evolving through a checkered narrative of capture, royal grants, purchase, and all the expected misadventures which history can offer. During the 19th century much stone was removed as readily available building material for houses and even sidewalks. For those really interested the Museum del Bierzo Calle del Reloj, 5, has an exhibition concerning the castle-those prefering to believe or cherish the Templar myth should not visit. Far more interesting in my eyes is the Iglesia de Santa Maria de la Encina and the Virgen de la Encina image-another story which if founded in faith or in myth is far more enchanting. [/QUOTE]
