Predjama Castle: a truly imposing fortification
CatherineReichardt Says: However you look at it, Predjama is a cracking site for a castle. Constructed into the mouth of a cave and protected by sheer cliff faces above and below, it would have been virtually impregnable, and as the rock is riddled with caves, the castle had the added bonus of a...

croisbeauty Says: Right beneath the castle town, there is a smaller cave which used to serve as the horse-stable for the riding horses. It is closed for the visitors, but the locals told me the cave is connected to the cave complex behind the castle.*
croisbeauty Says: Predjamski grad is one of the most visited castles in Slovenia and certailny one if not the most beautiful in whole country.Due to its hidden position, far away from the main roads, it was very well preserved in its authentic look from the 16th century.
croisbeauty Says: The Castle was built-up into the ovehanging rock and vista to that combination of a nature and man work is really great.As you can see on the picturw, the castle hangs in the middle of a 123 meters cliff. This four storey structure is almost arrogant in its simplicity.
