The tower of the Enchanted ones is near Caldes d'Estrach in Barcelona and there are different legends about it.

One of them is the following one:

A girl from one of the poorest families disappeared one day without leaving track. They looked for her. One day the girl appeared at the door of her house taking with her a handful of jewels and gold.

The young woman told them where that came from. One day she was walking near the Enchanted and  an eagle seized her strongly and took her inside the tower. the eagle turned into a smart boy and asked her to help him undo his charm and that of her fiancé. she agreed to undo the charm but she had to remain in the tower until a dove laid in her hands.

The girl decided to help breaking the spell and the boy promised that she would not have to worry while he was there.

Little elves worked hard in the tower to have everything neat and tidy. Six of them prepared food and others made clothes and shoes. In addition, each day, a jewel or gold coins were found on her pillow.

Long after, one morning, the girl saw a dove flying through her window followed by the eagle. The dove came to her and settled on her hands. At that moment the eagle became human and the dove turned into a beautiful young blonde girl.

Crazy with joy at having discarded the spell, they gave more jewels and gifts to the girl ,thanked her many times for her patience and left, leaving the young woman free to return with her family.

It was a dark, thunderous night in Cuenca. A lightning struck and Diana's feet turned into hooves. The boy looked at her and she had become a Devil.

The origin of this castle is not well known but it was built by Juan ll de Castilla in 11th c. Throughout its history it has had different owners. The first ones were the catholic monarchs, later Alfonso de Valencia and Bracamonte and finally Don Alonso de Fonseca.

At present the castle is a hotel, tourists and workers complain because the hotel is enchanted and at night you hear noises on the walls and at night a ghost; the White Lady appears. The story tells that in this castle it took place the forbidden love between Alonso de Fonseca and Maria de Ulloa. Perhaps that is why the specter of the White Lady tries to revive the glorious moments of their love

ATHENA & PARTHENON

The story of her birth comes in several versions. In the most commonly cited, Zeus lay with Metis, the goddess of thought and wisdom, but he immediately feared the consequences. It had been prophesied that Metis would bear children more powerful than the sire, even Zeus himself. In order to prevent this, Zeus swallowed Metis. He was too late: Metis had already conceived.Eventually Zeus experienced an enormous headache; Prometheus, Hephaestus, Hermes, Ares, or Palaemon (depending on the sources examined) cleaved Zeus' head with the double-headed Minoan axe, the labrys. Athena leaped from Zeus' head, fully grown and armed.

Athena's Birth

Athena is known for her calm temperament. She is noted to have only fought for serious reasons, and would not fight without a purpose. Athena is portrayed as an astute companion of heroes. She is the virgin patroness of Athens. The Athenians founded the temple of Parthenon on the rock of theAcropolis in Athens (Athena Parthenos), in her honor. Veneration of Athena was so persistent that archaic myths about her were recast to adapt to cultural changes. In her role as a protector of the city , many people throughout the Greek world worshipped Athena as Athena Polias "Athena of the city"). While the city of Athens and the goddess Athena essentially bear the same name (Athena the goddess, Athenai the city), it is not known which of the two words is derived from the other.

Information about Athena

The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Its construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC although the decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and western civilization, and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments.

Information about Parthenon

The Parthenon itself replaced an older temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, which historians call the Pre-Parthenon or Older Parthenon, that was destroyed during the Persian invasion of 480 BC. Despite the fact that it is a sacred building dedicated to the city's patroness goddess, the Parthenon was primarily used as a treasury. For a while, it served as the treasury of the Delian League, which later became the Athenian Empire. In the final decade of the sixth century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a Christian church dedicated to the Virgin Mary.

Pre-Parthenon

Athena vs Poseidon

After the Ottoman conquest, it was turned into a mosque in the early 1460s. On 26 September 1687, an Ottoman ammunition dump inside the building was ignited by Venetian bombardment. The resulting explosion severely damaged the Parthenon and its sculptures. From 1800 to 1803, Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin removed some of the surviving sculptures with the alleged permission of the Ottoman Empire. These sculptures, now known as the Elgin Marbles or the Parthenon Marbles, were sold in 1816 to the British Museum in London, where they are now displayed. Since 1983, the Greek government has been committed to the return of the sculptures to Greece.

Athens was first called Akti or Aktiki named after her first king Akteos. During Kekrops's kingship Athena and Poseidon,competed for the protection of the city offering gifts. Poseidon struck his trident on the rock of the Acropolis, and a spring of salt water emerged, whereas Athena offered an olive tree. Everyone voted for Athena and in the end Athens got its name after her.
