This high-definition gallery presents digital reconstructions of six iconic Asian castles, from Afghanistan to Japan. Many of these castles have taken damage since then due to wars, political instability, and even deliberate cultural destruction. Reconstructions like these allow us to more easily visualize what these magnificent castles looked like at their peak, and understand how they functioned.
