The Duino Castle- Geographical Entry
The Duino Castle is one of the most beautiful and famous castles of hole europe . It is teh historical private dwelling of the Princess Thurm und Taxis, in Italian Principe Torre Tasso. It is located on a piece od outcoming Carso, under it is the beautiful Atlantic sea and also it-s private beach. Still now Prince Carlo Torre Tasso, his wife and his 3 children live there, but from 2003 the castle is open to the public. You can go to visit the marvellous park, full of ancient statues and colorful flowers, there is also the fountain with their symbol on it. The Duino Castle hosted thousands of famous people, Johann Strauss, Franz Litzt, Mark Twain and also Franz Ferdinand. The origins of the castle begin in the roman times , it was restructered after World War Two because the Germans destroyed part of it. The Castle of Duino didn-t become a cold museum, it is still a lived home and it tells it-s history, from the statues, paintings and ancient furniture. I personally think that this castle is simply fantastic, with the blue sky, beautiful park and sea, what could you want more???
