Photos showing Predjama Castle built in the cave mouth and rock face. The last photo shows how the castle collected its water supply. Beneath the water collector is a well to hold the water.

great shots Cherie… you couldn’t get a better foundation for a house….peter:)
Very sturdy indeed.
It’s amazing how over time we’ve learned to adapt to what is around us, Cherry!
It is a case of survival
It must have saved a lot of building work, and was more impregnable than stonework
It was very hard to defeat an excellent defensive spot.
Oh, I really like these details! They’ve inspired my imagination no end and reminded me of a place I must blog about!
I look forward to seeing the place that you must blog about.
I would love to live inside a cave!
And I need a big wine cellar too.
There is plenty of room for wine inside this castle
