An Iberian route can connect very different fortified forms. Castle Atlas keeps the Alhambra’s fortified-palace class separate from Belém Tower’s tower class.

Q215003 source recordStart with type, not silhouette
A fortified palace and a tower answer different historical and architectural questions. Use the source class as a prompt, not a complete interpretation.
- Write the source type.
- Add a sourced function statement separately.
- Avoid calling every fortified site a castle.
Keep route geography honest
Granada and Lisbon belong to different national systems and are not presented here as a same-day itinerary.
- Research each city independently.
- Use current route tools for transport.
- Do not publish static travel-time promises.
Check designation sources
Where a heritage designation matters, cite the responsible register rather than copying a badge or unsourced summary.
- Link the official record.
- Record the inscription scope.
- Separate designation from visitor access.
