Hrad Devin

posted by dweldy on 18 August 2010 at 12:36

Hrad Devin is a cliff top castle a short journey out of central Bratislava. It is located at a confluence of the Morava and Danube rivers and is largely in ruins. It is a really nice spot though and easily accessed. It is also quiet there and I don't think many tourists visit.

Bratislava Castle

posted by rcarmichael on 18 August 2010 at 12:13

Bratislava Castle dominates the skyline and looms large over the Danube. It has some wonderful views and this in itself is reason enough to visit. The castle in its current incarnation dates back to the 1950s but there has been some sort of fortification here for the last 5,000 years. You can learn a lot in the Slovak National Museum which is housed inside.

St Peter Castle

posted by xlinton on 10 August 2010 at 17:09

I'd read that the Pope issued a decree that anyone who helpe on work in the castle would automatically receive a place in heaven! It represented the last christian strong hold in Asia minor in the early 15th century and certainly well fortified. Inside, there is a museum of underwater archaeology and amphora collections. There is also a great view of the bay from the top.

Blarney Castle

posted by xcasteel on 10 August 2010 at 14:38

This is a beautiful ruin of a castle not far from Cork. It is set within several acres of beautiful garden and is very overgrown inside, quite a romantic effect. You can kiss the 'stone of eloquence' inside which involves hanging backwards over a sheer drop!

Monolithos

posted by lschere on 5 August 2010 at 17:43

If you can manage a really arduous ascent, the Monolithos castle is a real highlight of Rhodes. The architecture is unspectacular but the views are amazing and the extremely precarious position on the jagged cliff top is something to be witnessed
