Courtyard of the Trakai Castle, an iconic landmark of Lithuania. Located in the southeastern part of the country, some 25 km (16 mi) outside Vilnius, the Trakai Castle is a huge medieval castle built on a little island on the Lake Galve. With its origins dating back to the 13th century, the Trakai Castle was the main center of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, a powerful European country that existed from the 13th century until 1795.

Awesome. This looks just like it was a place that video games like Skyrim model their cities after.

Thanks Wes :) Here is a whole about the castle if you are interested in this type of architecture https://steemit.com/architecturalphotography/@phortun/architectural-photography-trakai-castle-the-iconic-landmark-of-lithuania

Great article. This is such a cool looking place to visit.

Thanks. Europe is pretty smal in terms of area so you can definitely visit more countries and see many cool places when you are in Prague ;)

Nice capture! Loved the Trakai Castle. =)

Thanks Donica, I would love to see your photos from there too! :)

Great pic and great place!

Díky :)
