Castles from all over the world There's no better way to trigger our fantasy than a single look to a castle. Every castle brings uni For their defence or conquest, men have fought and died.

Precious Jewels set in the green carpet of the countryside or atop an unassailable rock, the castles of the world - with their extravagant architecture, enormous parks, richly furnished rooms, turbulent histories and aura of legend and mystery - are still landmarks of geography and the collective imagination. Castles tell the history of lands that throughout the centuries have been ravaged by war.

From the first defensive towers made from bare stone to the residences from the end of the last century, packed with paintings and precious furniture, the road has been long. For their beauty, artists and architects have been called up. For their fortune, they have knit fragile links between the most powerful families. Kings and princes, courtlers and queens, dukes and favourites have inhabited their magnificent rooms: ghosts that live on in memory still seem to descend the wide, marble staircases, plot vendettas in the darkness of secret studies, or dance to the light notes of lutes before the immense fireplaces of vast salons.

- Castles of the World, Gianni Guadalupi and Gabriele Reina
