Magnificent buildings such as castles and fortresses of former cities, whether closed or open for visitors, symbolise the past. They hide the spirits of old times, customs, and culture of the place inside and outside the walls as the silent witnesses of those times, castles, and manor houses tell many forgotten stories to their visitors to the present day.
