A2: The impressive Peles Castle was the first in Europe to have electricity. It even has an elevator and a central vacuum system - impressive for a place built in the late 1800s. #TRLT

replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR A1: Does mausoleum count? I know it's a tourist cliche but I had a love affair with all things India for such a long time before I actually went that seeing the Taj Mahal was such moving moment #TRLT

#Spain has so many incredible #castles to explore. You can even stay in them @ government-run @paradores #hotels- remarkably preserved landmarks like this one in Cardona. @LaPatrii @Spain @SpainInUSA #TRLT

A2 The best castles, palaces and forts close to home is Casa Loma. A great spot for a tour and even better for Afternoon Tea! https://t.co/1AYyp6h7eM @SeeTorontoNow @CasaLomaToronto #TRLT @LindaPeters64 @heidiSiefkas

A2 I'm fascinated by the Palace of Khudayar Khan in Kokand. It's a fraction of its original size - most of it was destroyed by the Soviets - but what's left is dazzling. #TRLT

A2 #TRLT Fort Clatsop is part of @LewisClarkNPS. A reproduction of the original fort is behind this welcome center. When Lewis & Clark were exploring the Pacific NW, they stayed at the original fort in the winter of 1804-05. Interesting place to see if you get this way.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR A1. I was really mesmerized by the Agra fort. It's so beautiful and it also gives an amazing view of Taj Mahal. Visited in 2006. (Don't have pic at the moment, so taken from net. Courtesy: tajmahalinagradotcom) #trlt.

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @ramblRramblR A1: The incredible Almodóvar castle in the Córdoba region #Spain looks and feels like a place built for giants. full of history watches over the entire town of Almodóvar del Río. It was also the setting for the Game of Thrones #TRLT

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @LindaPeters64 A2: the Chateau de Mareuil is fascinating. It’s a private home, is crumbling and is super dramatic. A modest castle by French standards, it belonged to a wealthy land owner. I love it cos it’s not a fairytale! #TRLT

A2 This is in the former GDR & was in ruins until 1993. Finished in 2013. It had UNESCO World Heritage status for its cross-border cultural landscape. One can walk through its park from Germany to Poland.

It is fascinating to experience up close how far Europe has come. #TRLT

A2. The only forts nearby in Idaho are now Indian Casinos. However, there is Minidoka National Historic Site, which is a former Japanese internment camp. Definitely fascinating and tragically sad. #TRLT

replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @LindaPeters64 Pazo de Castrelos (kind of a palace) belonged to a wealth family in Vigo. As there was no heir, they donated it to the city. The conditions were to keep the surname of the family: Quiñones de León, to be allocated as a museum, and to never be in private hands. #TRLT
