I don't blame you, buddy. If we had those in Canada, I'd probably try and take the thing over and prepare to withstand siege.

Valença, northern Portugal. On the other side of the river it's Spain.
It has seen its fair share of battles, both against Spaniards, French and between Portuguese.

Frogs have the better aesthetic desu.

I've been to several, in England, France, and Italy. I'd have to ask my parents which ones they were, though, the only one I know for sure is the Tower of London.

My (biased) opinion as well, although I think Spain is really underrated as far as castles go
By the way concerning France if you ever come visit us I highly recommend the Dordogne valley and departement in the South-West, it has more than a thousand castles of all kind and hundreds of preserved medieval towns, with god tier food, climate, and is also one of the most forested place in France.
Pic related, the castle of Castelnaud-la-Chapelle which contains an unforgettable museum of medieval warfare inside + The castle and town of Beynac in the foreground only a couple kilometres away, both listed in the most beautiful French villages

Yes, this was amazing. My parents couldn't afford to go abroad when i was younger so most of our holidays were somewhere by the sea in the UK. The castles were the best parts. When i was i child it was just running around and playing. As i got older and became a teenager i would get these weird history feels. 10/10 would relive again. The nation trust is truly amazing.

Castelo dos Mouros in Portugal. What an underrated country.

>>1023399
Are you Portuguese too?/

>>1023406
No, I'm burgerstani. I visited Portugal back in January while on a trip to Spain. I knew very little about the country and had no expectations. But I really liked it and wish I had spent more time there

very nice to see a castle, but after you've seen a few the initial awe/charm wears off.
