Castles, Palaces & Forts
TRLT
replying to @FE_photograph @FE_photograph I forgot about some of the forts we saw in Oman. Good reminder. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A2: Unfortunately not nearby but I’m fascinated by old castle ruins, such as Tintagel. There’s so much history and room for imagination 🧡 #TRLT
A3. #TRLT Wray Castle on the banks of Lake Windermere in the UK’s Lake District! #wraycastle
A3 Today it seems surprising to find a huge fortress right in the centre of a city, but historically Bukhara was frequently under attack and citizens would have hidden inside the Ark. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A3) Fort Matanzas (Photo 1) in Florida falls into that category, its more of an outpost along a river inlet that was used to warn troops north at Castello de San Marcos (Photos 2 & 3) in St Augustine. #TRLT
A3: one of the most unusual locations that I've visited was Ehrenbreitstein Fortress in Kloblenz, #Germany.
An amazing feat of architecture & self reliance, Ehrenbreitstein, is beautifully perched high above the Rhine river, an ideal viewpoint for safety.

A3. Edinburgh Castle! I love that the castle is basically the center of the city and you can see it from almost anywhere! #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @RTWBarefoot A3: Zuheros Castle nestled in rock, occupies a privileged position. Founded by the Arabs in the ninth century, the current appearance was probably built in the 11th or 12th century when the area was ruled by the Zirid dynasty. Zuheros village in Cordoba @spain 🇪🇸 #TRLT

3. Urquhart Castle, on the shores of Loch Ness. Dates from 13th century. So incredibly unbelievable that the ruins are still standing!
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @RTWBarefoot A3 This place in Cappadocia, Turkey was quite special. There are fort ruins on the top of the hill. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A3. Belvedere Castle’s the obvious one, surely? I mean, it doesn’t even have a cafe. #TRLT
A4: Topkapı Palace in Istanbul is gorgeous. I abandoned my plans for the rest of the day & spent hours wandering there #TRLT
A3 I love castles on islands. This is one I visited a few weeks ago, in Austria. #TRLT #casltes #travelphotography
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR A1 the Roscommon Castle was the first proper castle in ruins I had seen up close it was a treat to look at and imagine what it once was #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel A3. If monasteries counts then in Petra.
"The🌹red city, structures carved out beautifully from the rocks, watching lights & a musical 🌚
Posing w Bedouins or hitting conversation w a local

A4: @RabyCastle in Co Durham is seriously impressive. Check out the gold in the Octagon Drawing Room! The high Gothic arches of the entrance hall had a practical purpose: easy entry for carriages @travelatwill #TRLT
A4: Loved the intricate interior of the Nasrid Palace at the Alhambra in Granada, Spain. #TRLT
replying to @mikism_LKSM @mikism_LKSM I recommend you see the Fortified Church of Viscri. It was my favourite place in the country. #TRLT
