Trenčín Castle, Slovakia
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
New contributor slaks_travel brings us this excellent aerial view of one of the most well-known castles of Slovakia: Trenčín Castle (Trenčiansky hrad). It's situated in the town, district and region of the same name in the northwestern corner of the country. Like many castles in Central Europe, it's a hilltop structure built on older Roman fortification. Its rotunda likely dates to the 8th-9th century AD, and most of the rest of the site dates to the late Middle Ages. The castle is open to touring and is home to a castle museum.

The castle hill in Trenčín was already inhabited in Celtic times, and in the Great Moravia period there was a strong fortified hillfort here. The brick, stone royal castle was built in the 11th century, which puts it in a number of the oldest castles in Slovakia.
