Google Earth Voyager Story: The Geometry of Castles

Google Earth Voyager Story: The Geometry of Castles

During Medieval times, castles were fortresses, mini-cities where the royalty lived, and symbols of power. Most castles were tall, imposing structures. But why were they so tall? Was it just for symbolic reasons, to allow a king to show his center of power and influence?
