Iga Ueno Castle - Japanese Castles (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
| Link Iga Ueno Castle also known as Uneo Castle or Hakuho Castle is a Japanese Castle located in Iga Mie Prefecture. Iga Ueno Castle was first established in 1585 under the order of Takigawa Katsutoshi. The donjon (tower) and the inner bailey were constructed by Takigawa Katsutoshi's successor Tsutsui Sadatsugu. Today's reconstructed Iga Uneo Castle is based upon this design. It was Todo Takatora who ordered the redevelopment of the inner bailey walls to the height of 30m, making them the tallest of any castle in Japan. The donjon was destroyed in a storm in 1612 and only reconstructed with wood in 1935. |
