the left sde of the castle doesn't have a roof over it. We wondered if they used the space to entertain people on a nice summer day. Sometime this summer we will go back for a tour where we can learn more about the castle.

Looks like a nice day out. Thank you for sharing your photos, Bill. Very kind.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you.
Great views Bill
ReplyDeleteLooks like red was the dress code du jour for the ladies. Wonderful castle and it looks like it has been maintained in a good state of repair.
ReplyDeleteI impress with views of inside castle.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing photos
I remember we only past it, maybe it was closed at that time, can't remember it anymore, but it looks nice.
ReplyDeleteHello, loved the tour and castle. I would like to visit someday. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day. Wishing you a happy new week ahead.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLike living in a fairy tale.
I love it!
Thank you so much for sharing Bill 💮
I'm sure there was a roof on all of it back when it was built. Time and weather have wrought their changes. What a wonderful day you must have had!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd go back and take another look at this. I'm sure there's much more to see.
ReplyDeleteA fun trip. You realize even some castle dwellers didn’t have it real comfy cozy. You probably already knew that but my access to castles has been limited to Hearst Castle which was owned By William Randolf Hearst and pretty much has every comfort known to man. Happy Sunday Bill.
ReplyDeleteI love castles. There are so many in Portugal as well!
ReplyDeleteEine interessante Burg.

The stone walls are quite something! Great place to visit.
ReplyDeleteBill - I never met a castle I didn't like, especially if it has young people engaged in Irish dancing. But I got a little stuck at the notion of a spring fete. In February?
