Caerhays Castle emerges from its lush surroundings adorned with vibrant Magnolias and Camellias, a sight that captivates all who behold it. Agnes, Countess of Dunbar, known as Black Agnes, left her mark on history through her fearless defense during times of turmoil. A black-and-white photo transports us back to Damascus Gate in Jerusalem in 1857 when these towering structures guarded the city's entrance. As dawn breaks over Bodiam Castle in East Sussex, England, its battlements bask in golden hues that reflect centuries-old stories etched into every stone.
