Because Castana is an imaginary nation there are no real images of it but we can provide images of places that inspired it. Castana is loosely based on medieval Spain during the Moorish occupation and the architecture and art of that period offers a good representation of the the nation of Castana and her capital city Esharra.
We provide not only images, but where they were found online. We make all attempts to provide proper credit to all these images, but if some reason you own an image shown here and wish it removes, simply contact us and we will remove it immediatly.
