Crenellation (or crenelation) is the name for the distinctive pattern that framed the tops of the walls of many medievel castles, often called battlements. Crenellation most commonly took the form of multiple, regular, rectangular spaces cut out of the top of the wall to allow defenders spaces to shoot arrows from and other spaces to hide behind full cover.

Raised primarily in Barcelona as part of a conservative family, Castells became politically active in the student anti-Franco movement as a teenager, moving to Paris to finish his degree at the age of 20.
Castells lives in Barcelona and Santa Monica, California and is married to Emma Kiselyova.
