Castello di Miramare

This is my latest FM collection given by CK (thanks dearie...). I was staring the FM trying to locate where on earth is this castle hehehe


Comelkan tangan itu??? :P


So let us go travelling to Italy. Yup the castle is in Italy... since at this moment I cant afford to go there physically, let go virtually... thus increase our geography knowledge too... :)


The Castle of Miramare, Trieste, Italy

The Miramare Castle (Italian: Castello di Miramare) is a 19th century castle, built for Austrian Archduke Maximilian and his wife, Charlotte of Belgium, later Emperor Maximilian I and Empress Carlota of Mexico. The castle is situated on the Gulf of Trieste near Trieste, northeastern Italy. Construction took place from 1856 to 1860 to a design by Carl Junker on the orders of Archduke Maximilian. The castle's grounds include an extensive cliff and seashore park of 22 hectares (54 acres) designed by the Archduke. The grounds were completely re-landscaped to feature numerous tropical species of trees and plants.

And these photos taken from Wikipedia website, proven the castle is magnificient. The castle, the garden and the interior simply fits the grandness (is there such word?) of the castle. It really takes my heart away... imagining me living in the castle itself... best nya!!!!!!!!!!

(Macam pernah ku lihat jam tu, tapi dimana ya... :P)

The bedroom for Maximilian and I read that he never used it.
The bed is a wedding present from the pope and that explains why the bed is designed that way huh?


You never know you could learn this thru a fridge magnet right? Glad that I am able to share it with you...
