I've always enjoyed history, so i thought, why not create a thread about Castles?
I'll start with this (very old) youtube video, showing just 50 out of the more then 200 portuguese castles.
Show me yours, please.

Living in the UK you kinda grow accustomed to castles and though some are pretty I personally ever rarely think about them
I like Dutch castles for their style and class.
Castle Breuberg
From Above and at a different angle.
We don't really have castles in South Africa..
Although, we do have "The Castle of Good Hope", but I reckon they just called it that to make it sound more impressive, it's really more like a fort.
My absolute favorite

And my city one:

How it was until the french invasion of 1807
And how it currently looks
And also part of the firdt castle, currently in the middle of the old town.
White Castle? I don't know why, but it sounds vaguely familiar to me... I wonder why? lol
This is a nice one
Of the castles I've actually been to, I rather like Edinburgh.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
My local castle,
edit: ^^^^ some1 beat me to it
