EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the heart of the Lepini Mountains in Italy lies the enchanting ruins of the Medieval Castle of Ninfa, a relic of a bygone era that transports visitors to the 12th century. Captured in this stunning photograph taken in 1927, the castle's towering walls and crumbling stone structures stand proudly amidst the lush greenery, reflecting in the tranquil waters of the lake that surrounds it. The Castle of Ninfa, also known as the "Sunken Garden of Ninfa," was once a thriving medieval town, home to over 3,000 inhabitants. However, in the 15th century, the town was abandoned due to frequent raids and natural disasters. The castle, which served as a defensive fortress, was left to ruin. Despite the passage of time, the castle's grandeur remains evident in the intricate details of its architecture. The towering tower, with its conical roof and narrow windows, dominates the landscape, while the remnants of the castle walls reveal the complex network of rooms and corridors that once housed the town's residents. The castle's location, surrounded by a lush garden and nestled between the mountains and the lake, adds to its mystical allure. The garden, known as "Giardino di Ninfa," is a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a chance to explore the ruins and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. This photograph, taken over 90 years ago, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of the Medieval Castle of Ninfa. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the past and the importance of preserving historical sites for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
