15 Amazing Castles from Around the Globe

15 Amazing Castles from Around the Globe

Pe locul 6 se afla al nostru Castel Peleş:




Located in an idyllic setting in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania, the Peleş Castle is truly a fairytale construction. Started in 1873, the construction of the complex was quite international an undertaking. This is how Queen Elisabeth of Romania described the construction phase: "Italians were masons, Romanians were building terraces, the Gypsies were coolies. Albanians and Greeks worked in stone, Germans and Hungarians were carpenters. Turks were burning brick. Engineers were Polish and the stone carvers were Czech. The Frenchmen were drawing, and the Englishmen were measuring...". Apparently, there were 14 languages heard among the workers.
Cu multumiri catre @SorinRusi, via @twitter. Mi-a redeschis pofta de calatorii. Pacat de bugetul subtire de anul asta, dar trag nadejdea ca la anul sa reusesc sa-mi pun in practica niste planuri mai vechi.
