Nature Documentary hosted by Josh Goodman, published by Smithsonian Channel broadcasted as part of Smithsonian Earth series in 2017.
The abandoned castles of Europe have been overtaken by the rich natural environments flourishing around them.
Outline
The abandoned castles of Europe are magnificent markers of the continent’s tempestuous history. But where they once hosted royalty, these empty, hulking structures are now overtaken by the wildlife and rich natural environments flourishing around them. From peregrine falcons ruling the bell towers of Germany’s Heidelberg Castle, to exotic amphibians thriving in the spring-fed fountains of Spain’s iconic Alhambra, explore the curious history of these imposing European structures and the creatures that call them home.
