Il Castel Gardena, è un castello che si trova ai piedi del gruppo del Sassolungo tra i comuni di Selva e Santa Cristina Valgardena, in Alto Adige.
Escapade bretonne.
Les rochers ont, évidemment, été posés après la construction de la maison pour la protéger des coups de vents, souvent très forts en Bretagne...
et Castel Meur se traduit par "Grand Château"...
This Fortress was built as a mausoleum for the Emperor Hadrian, but it has also been a prison and a papal residence. It was used by former Popes who absconded there for protection in times of danger. There has been a covered passageway which still connects Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican.

1185 - Heinrich von Heidegg is mentioned for the first time. The oldest surviving part of the castle was built around 1192. Today the castle houses a museum and shows changing exhibitions on various topics. At the moment there are photographs of the castle from 1850 - 2020. A 300 year old rose garden is the museum's particular pride.

Happy new year! Lets hope for 2021
The castle follows a motte and bailey design but, unusually, it has two mottes.[2] The only other castle in England to have two mottes is Lincoln Castle.[1]
The first motte, known as Brack Mount, was completed shortly after the Norman conquest of England in 1066 and the second motte, known as the Keep, was completed in the late 11th century.[2] Both mottes were built by William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey.[2] The mottes would originally have been surmounted by wooden palisades but these were replaced with masonry shell keeps at the start of the 12th century.[1] The bailey area also had a stone wall with towers.[1]
Soldiers went out from the castle to engage with Simon de Montfort at the Battle of Lewes in 1264.[3]
Towers were added to one of the shell keeps in the 13th century and a barbican gate was added in the 14th century.[2] When the last of the de Warennes, John, the 7th Earl, died without issue in 1347, he was buried in Lewes Priory.[2] His title was passed to his nephew Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel.[2]
The castle was leased by Sussex Archaeological Society from 1850 and was acquired by Charles Thomas-Stanford and gifted to the Sussex Archaeological Society in 1922.[2]
Wall collapse
On 11 November 2019 at 12:22 GMT the first alert was raised that a 10m by 10m section of the curtain wall had collapsed onto an adjacent house and garden.[4] Emergency services searched the site but found no casualties.[4] Sussex Archaeological Society said that the wall that collapsed was privately owned and one of the last parts of the curtain wall.[4] They also said that the parts owned by the society were checked independently on an annual basis.[4] The castle was closed as a precaution.[4] The wall was described in a contemporaneous news report as weighing 600 tonnes.[4]

Si erge maestoso sul primo tratto della scogliera del Romito, lungo la via costiera che da Livorno conduce, in direzione sud, verso Quercianella.
La struttura originaria era costituita solamente dalla torre (più vicina al mare, svetta sul resto del castello), eretta nel Cinquecento per volontà dei Medici sopra i resti di una struttura preesistente.
Alla fine dell’Ottocento la torre passò in proprietà alla marchesa Eleonora Ugolini, che decise di inglobarla in una più spaziosa residenza in stile neo-medioevale, con mattoni a vista, in pietra e merlature.
In epoca successiva la proprietà del castello fu acquisita dai Witaker-Ingham che fecero eliminare le merlature, preferendo più semplici coperture a falda inclinata.
Il maniero, oltre all’antica torre medicea quadrata, presenta altre tre torri più basse a pianta circolare.
Nel parco si trova ancora una piccola torre in pietra grigia, oggi adibita a magazzino.
Da tempo abbandonato, l’edificio, in anni non troppo lontani, è stato restaurato e trasformato in complesso residenziale.
A dominio della Cala dei Pirati (o Boccale), Castel Boccale con la sua imponenza offre chiunque si soffermi ad ammirarlo un indimenticabile scorcio paesaggistico, contribuendo a rendere ancor più suggestivo quel tratto di costa livornese di per sé già meraviglioso.
On a gray day with high fog and little sun, i tried to photograph Mauensee Castle. The castle is privately owned and is located on a small island in lake Mauensee - you cant get there, but you can walk around the lake and see the castel from every side. Of course I was hoping for a few rays of sunshine - but it stayed gray only the fog took a little color.
This is not a black and white photo - although you might think so at first glance.

Castel Sant'Angelo, detto anche Mausoleo di Adriano, è un monumento di Roma, situato sulla sponda destra del Tevere di fronte al pons Aelius, a poca distanza dal Vaticano, nel rione di Borgo....
"Shadows over Herrenstein" was the title of a soap opera on Swiss radio. Somehow the photo corresponds exactly to my inner picture of it.

A true open-air museum, Rome has preserved and enriched its beauty over the centuries. Each corner of the streets reveals a treasure, be it ancient, religious, architectural or even gastronomic. All roads lead to Rome, and one should not resist, simply take it and go, enjoy the beauty and admire the eternal city.
Sur la côte de granit rose, à Plougrescant, à côté de la Pointe du Gouffre, cette petite maison entre deux rochers a été l'emblème des Côtes d'Armor....

Castel del Monte
is a 13th-century citadel and castle situated on a hill in Andria in the Apulia region of southeast Italy.
It was built during the 1240s by King Frederick II, who had inherited the lands from his mother Constance of Sicily. In the 18th century, the castle's interior marbles and remaining furnishings were removed.
It has neither a moat nor a drawbridge and some considered it never to have been intended as a defensive fortress; however, archaeological work has suggested that it originally had a curtain wall.
Described by the Enciclopedia Italiana as "the most fascinating castle built by Frederick II", the site is protected as a World Heritage Site.

Thank you all for appreciating my photo! :-)
La maison a le dos tourné à la mer, le propriétaire ayant cherché à la protéger en construisant la maison dans un berceau entre les deux rochers pour la protéger des tempêtes violentes qui fréquentent ce lieu.
Auparavant, on pouvait marcher jusqu’à la maison et l’admirer de près. Mais après que des touristes japonais ( encore eux ! ) ont grimpé sur le toit pour prendre des photos et causé des dommages, la propriétaire a été en justice pour faire valoir ses droits et interdire toute représentation commerciale ( les cartes postales de Castel Meur n’existent plus aujourd’hui ). Elle a également construit un mur d’enceinte autour de la propriété pour interdire l’accès au bâtiment.
Plougrescant est une commune du département des Côtes-d'Armor, dans la région Bretagne, en France.
