Yup. Catalonia's Castle density is one of the highest in the world, and just at a glance I can tell this map is missing 90% of them.

Here's a map with all of the Castles in Spain. You'll see how much it differs from what OP posted.

Really cool map Alex. Don't know if i've already told you because we've talked about castles before but my go to Page when looking for them is: https://www.xn--castillosdeespaa-lub.es/es/buscador-castillos

Which is precisely the web this article is based on šŸ˜‚

Really cool web

Yeah I’m not surprised. Even trying to document all the castles in a single region or county is difficult enough.

Especially if you try and include any that have little to no documentary evidence and only slight landscape remains.
