Fortress of Bashtove - The Inside

Fortress of Bashtove

The fortress is in the middle of a field. It is not guarded, it doesn't have information tables around or inside. Looks like it fell from the sky.

Only the walls remain. It is completely stripped from everything else.

You can play football inside, you can have a pick-nick or whatever. It is very flat and wind-proof :)

It looks like a small passage but it's a window actually. The other side is blocked by vegetation.

Two of the towers are still standing. The other two have disappeared. There are stairs to climb on the wall and walk around.

A tower-less angle.

My car, Polo Variant :) Plenty of space for luggage. I might start my own tour guiding business/service.

This photo and the next one are taken from the same position. This is the road leading to the castle. The asphalt ends at the tower.

Walking on the walls and looking around to find a reason why was this fortress built. There are hills only some hundred meters away. I guess this was not an actual fortress overseeing the area or something similar. It must have been some sort of a storage for goods like animals, what or corn. The river is close by and the sea is only a couple hundred meters further. Maybe people stopped here to wait for ships or whatever. In the mean time they must have stayed here to avoid pirates or thieves...
