What a beautiful place, in broad daylight, in the setting sun, in summer or winter.

This is a beautiful building. I love the stone and stucco work on the front. I find that work very attractive.

Great building, love the neat stonework on the tower. The 'winter shot' is very good either with that bridge giving perspective.

Judy said...

I like the angle of the first shot very much and the light in both pictures is beautiful.

You have some amazing palaces and mansions in your bit of Portugal

That's a fairly recent construction, I was surprised I thought the turret at least was older, if restored. Cool place, cool shots, especially the second one.

A palace place of stunning beauty! And a great place to serve as a museum! I like the backlit shot, too.

Are they looking for a prince to live in and run the castle? I'm volunteering for the job . . .
