The Arches, which appeared on several occasions during Series 7 (1993).

Arches

By David Goldstein

This castle courtyard, backed by arches, appeared at different points in Series 7's first and second levels.


  • Series | 7
  • Level | 1, 2
  • Location | Avellaneda Palace, Spain

Characters encountered here included Rothberry, Sidriss and Marta (in the form of a giant cat... then a giant dog).

The location made its final appearance in Quest 7, when Hordriss accompanied Barry there and revealed a staircase leading down to Level 3. Team 3 had found an identical staircase leading from the courtyard to the sliding floor chamber within Level 1.

The arches, as seen in Series 7 of Knightmare (1993).

In our world, this courtyard is part of Avellaneda Palace, built in the 16th century in Peñaranda de Duero, Spain.
