Cliff Castles and Cave Dwellings of Europe

This book offers an in-depth look at cliff castles and cave dwellings in Europe and how they came about, their history and evolution, as well as the varied people that were, and are, a part of these cultures. The author describes localities, some under modern governments, where elaborate tunnels form the shelter of people living in various stages of civilization. Even the author notes that he was surprised to learn to what an extent cliff dwellings similar to those well-known in Asia, Africa and even America, have existed and do still exist in Europe.
