Almajaneque

Almajaneque

The almajaneque was a war machine used to throw large stones weighing more than 500 kg, in order to destroy the walls or battlements of enemy castles. Its operation was based on the lever system, with a long arm with the offset axis at the end of which there was a counterweight; The most sophisticated had pulley forwarding systems. Usually they were simple and were built at the foot of the walls to shoot down: they shot the projectiles in low trajectory and did not reach great height, so that the stones fired against the walls, instead of flying on them and falling inside the enclosure . They were machines of simple design and rustic, but at the same time effective and demolishing. A great almajaneque was used by Abderramán III in the siege to the castle of Juviles, in the Alpujarras of Granada, with which it bombarded with stone projectiles incessantly the castle, until obtaining the surrender of the same one after 15 days. El almajaneque era una máquina de guerra utilizada para lanzar grandes piedras de más de 500 kg de peso, con el fin de destruir las murallas o almenas de los castillos enemigos. Su funcionamiento estaba basado en el sistema de palanca, con un brazo largo con el eje descentrado en cuyo extremo había un contrapeso; los más sofisticados tenían sistemas de reenvío mediante poleas. Habitualmente eran sencillos y se construían al pie de las murallas a derribar: disparaban los proyectiles en trayectoria baja y no alcanzaban gran altura, de manera que las piedras disparadas golpeaban contra las murallas, en vez de volar sobre ellas y caer en el interior del recinto. Eran unas máquinas de diseño sencillo y rústico, pero a su vez eficaces y demoledoras. Un gran almajaneque fue utilizado por Abderramán III en el asedio al castillo de Juviles, en las Alpujarras de Granada, con el que bombardeó con proyectiles de piedra sin cesar el castillo, hasta conseguir al cabo de 15 días la rendición del mismo.
