World-famous ancient architecture

1. Prague Castle: the largest ancient castle in the world.

According to Guinness World Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world, with a length of 570 meters and a width of 130 meters. For a long time, it was the palace in Prague, and it is still the official residence of the president and the seat of state organs.

2. Mont Saint Michel: Castle on the island.

Known as the "western scenic spot", Mount Saint Michel is located between Normandy and Brittany, France, on a rocky island in the middle of a huge sandbar. In 708, Aubert, the Bishop of France, met the archangel Michel and made a hole in his skull. Therefore, he built a small church in the highest place on the island and dedicated it to the archangel Michelle, making it a pilgrimage center, hence the name Michelle Mountain. The area of the mountain is very small, with a diameter of only 1 km, and there are monasteries nearly twice as high as it. This monastery was built in 1 1 to16th century, and it is a masterpiece with extraordinary skills. The gothic spire of the church soars into the sky, and the golden statue of St. Michel at the top holds a sword and points to the sky. It's like entering a fairyland on earth It blends in with the unique natural environment around it. At high tide, it looks like an island, cold, arrogant and unfathomable. The tide receded and became approachable again.

3.Pared Yamski castle: a castle built in a cave.

Pared Yamski Castle is the only castle built in caves in the world. According to records, this castle was not built overnight: the "left wing" of the castle began to be built in the middle of 12 century, and the middle part was built in the Renaissance. It was not until around 1570 that the "right wing" was built. The whole project took about four centuries.

4. Neuschwanstein Castle: a classic fairy tale castle.

The New Swan Castle, also known as "Snow White Castle in Fu Sen", is a mythical castle with white walls and blue roofs. It is located in the Alps and was built in 1869. The construction of the castle is very eye-catching. It was originally designed by the dream of King Ludwig II of Bavaria, who is the cousin of Princess Sisi. It is said that he has always had a crush on Princess Sisi. When he moved into the unfinished new castle, Princess Cece sent a porcelain swan to congratulate him, so Ludwig II named the castle the New Swan Castle. The king didn't see his dream completed before his death, and the castle was completed year after year by later generations, so the castle he saw today is a classic work of cooperation between predecessors and later generations. Perhaps King Ludwig II never dreamed that millions of people would visit here every year.

5. The most charming castle in Japan.

Matsumoto's predecessor was Shen Zhi. In the early Muromachi era, Kogasawara Shinzong, a servant of a full-fledged scholar, built the city when Shennong was the guardian. Matsumoto is a typical city of peace. This pill, the second pill and the third pill are roughly square. Tianshou is located in the southwest of Benwan, surrounded by a concave pill without north and a square pill with three sides. Among the existing and verifiable ancient Japanese cities, Matsumoto is the only city that has built a moon-viewing pavilion (that is, a turret used to enjoy the moon) in Tianshou complex.
