The next screenshots show what an incredible amount of work someone had to put in to reshape the land this much and dig out so much earth and stone.
From the bottom of the dig: vertical rock walls, an arched stone bridge over the gorge, and the castle walls high up on the right.
The floor of the dig – a wide corridor between rock walls, with the castle walls towering over the left one.
A narrow passage between the walls. Tile border: 248 slope up – practically vertical.
Walls and towers high overhead, above a rock face cut as if with a knife.
The hillside flattened into terraces, one above the other.
From the meadow side: the walls rise out of the terraced, cut-back slope.
Bare rock left by the digging at the foot of the terraces.
A bank of bare rock in front of the walls.
From the edge of a terrace: knife-cut walls and stretches of bare rock below.
The front of the fortress: a gate with a stone bridge, a brick and stone pattern above it, all set into the levelled hillside.
The main road entrance – a causeway leads right up to the gate, and two huge eyes stare at me from the facade.
I also took a look into the cave under the fortress – a brick-lined tunnel with blue flames along the road and a horse statue further in.
