Ahoy Shipmates!!!

We step back in time to 1941 as the heavy cruiser, RM Pola sails out so sea past the famous Castello Aragonese. This frozen bit of history is brought to us by our friend, Lou Carabott.

Thanks!

That is not Castello Aragonese, Castello Aragonese is near Naples whereas that fortress in at Taranto... isn't it?

Excellent build....beautiful ship!

Excellent representation of Castello Aragonese Taranto

There seems to be many places named Castello Aragonese

Castello Aragonese Island of Ischia near Naples, Castello Aragonese Reggio Calabria
and the Castello Aragonese Taranto, represented in this diorama.
There are also many others.

These castles were all built during the 14 &15 century under
the rule of the Kingdom of Aragon, which expanded along the
Mediterranean, from Spain and as far as Greece.

Dear Mr. Carabott,
I have been admiring this beauty since you first posted it. A splendid piece of art, as usual, from your studio.
Thanks for posting, and for the explanatory text.
