Hizen Nagoya Castle - Japanese Castles (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
| Link Hizen Nagoya Castle was a hilltop style Japanese Castle located in Karatsu Saga Prefecture, in what was at the time of construction Hizen Province. Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the construction of Hizen Nagoya Castle and it was completed in 1591. Hizen Nagoya Castle is the only castle that was used as a base to attack a foreign land, in this case Korea, but with plans to attack China as well. In 1592 the first attempted invasion of Korea fails. In 1598 Toyotomi Hideyoshi dies, with all further attempts to invade Korea cancelled and Hizen Nagoya Castle is abandoned. Materials are then taken from the castle to construct Karatsu Castle. Today only some of the stone walls and earthworks remain. |
