That's an amazing place too. I was just looking at images from it. These fortifications are like many religious buildings though, and I have to wonder if the people laboring to make them were forced or not or heavily taxed to pay for them. Supposedly a lot of European fortifications were built by paid builders. Even then though, the rulers had to get that money through taxes. The price of security perhaps?
I'll have to look that place up too. Thanks!
