中城城跡 – 空撮
.
*沖縄の世界遺産「中城城跡」*
中城城跡は、中城村と北中城村にまたがり東北と南西にほぼ一直線に伸びた標高150ｍ～170ｍの石灰岩丘陵上に立地する山城で、南東側は15ｍ以上の切り立った断崖、北西側は勾配のきつい傾斜面となっているため城内に至るには正門や裏門に面している東北と南西の丘陵尾根沿いしかなく、守りやすく攻めにくい地に築かれています。
城は6つの郭からなり、城壁は琉球石灰岩で積まれ、自然の岩石と地形的条件を巧みに生かしながら美しい曲線で構成されています。

Nakagusuku Castle ruins is telling the memory of the Ryukyu kingdom.
The Nakagusuku Castle ruins are located 150 to 170 meters above sea level and can be found in the villages of Nakagusuku and Kita Nakagusuku on a lush plateau of limestone that forms a straight line from northeast to southwest.
The southeast side faces a 15 meter high jagged cliff, while the northwest faces a steep slope. The only access to the castle is the main gate and the rear gate, which are located on the North and South parts of the castle on the ridge of the hill. This makes Nakagusuku Castle easy to defend and very difficult to attack.
Nakagusuku Castle is divided into 6 enclosures. Its barricades are made from Ryukyu limestone and its beautiful curving lines are in perfect harmony with the natural rocks and landscapes.
