That was a house? Well, it fits with the castle motif, but it seems a tad, shall we say, pretentious? Not that I would ever object to living there myself, mind you. ;-)

It fits with the theme. I would expect nothing less. This place takes my breath away.

Sleep safely? I understand that even when it was inhabited it was haunted!

This just seems so out of place where it's located, don't you think? But then many yyears ago they did used to build ALOT of mansions.

This is just the front of a small villa, there are other buildings draped across the craggy rock ledges behind this, all with a complex of passages and archways. It is possible to get to the second floor, but is extremely dangerous to do so. Much has fallen in, but portion remain. I used to venture across the tenuous floor of the patio to the upper left, and the whole thing would jiggle like walking on a trampoline.
Beneath are utility rooms, and the remains of a boiler and water heaters can be seen there.
I had wondered all my life what this place looked like in its "life", so thanks SOOO much for the links, Nauseous!!
Stunning!
