    Pazin Castle

    PazinCroatia988

    Pazin Castle (Pazinski kaštel) is the largest and best-preserved medieval fortification in the Istrian peninsula, dramatically perched on the edge of a 120-metre vertical cliff directly above the cavernous Pazin Chasm (Pazinska jama). First mentioned in historical documents in 988, this formidable stone fortress inspired French author Jules Verne's famous adventure novel 'Mathias Sandorf.' Over centuries of sieges, executions, and noble rule, the castle gained a dark reputation for subterranean mysteries, phantom cries echoing from the chasm, and spectral prisoners wandering its courtyards.

    Veliki Tabor Castle

    DesinićCroatia15th century

    Veliki Tabor Castle is one of Croatia's best-preserved medieval and Renaissance fortresses, crowning a picturesque hill in the green region of Hrvatsko Zagorje. Built primarily in the 15th and 16th centuries by the noble Rattkay family, it is world-renowned for the tragic legend of Veronika Desinić and Frederick II of Celje. Veronika, a peasant girl who secretly married the young count, was executed and her body entombed within the castle's thick stone walls. Her wailing ghost is said to still haunt the pentagonal keep.
