I believe it's a mill.

[–]potatohonkey 38 points39 points ago

I was going to say, this seems to be a terribly indefensible place to build a castle.

[–]offguard 25 points26 points ago

No it's totally a castle. Everyone knows that in olden days, the best place to build a fortified defensive structure was at the very bottom of a deep ravine. Also, when you're setting up your defenses, you have to do like these folks did and make sure your source of water is easily accessible to anyone upstream of you in the ravine.

Also, make sure you build lots of big windows into it.

[–]mblitch 4 points5 points ago

No, only OP is stupid enough to assume that while copying over a well published photograph.

[–]1_4M_M3 0 points1 point ago

That mill is in Sorrento Italy. I saw it this summer! There is a huge ravine that goes through the town, this is in the bottom of part of it.

You missed the times it's been submitted here too.

[–]GladiatoRiley 44 points45 points ago

If I had a dollar for every time I saw this place I would be rich.

[–]cargocultleader 12 points13 points ago

I estimate about 14$ which is still 13$ too much.

[–]GladiatoRiley 14 points15 points ago

Ah the things I could do with 14 bucks...

[–]tnhale 43 points44 points ago

Jesus Christ. Eventually this is going to be the only thing ever posted in this subreddit.

[–]Jtricky 7 points8 points ago

I've been on Reddit for less than a year and I've seen this posted almost six or seven times in this subreddit. I'm not saying the place snag photo aren't beautiful; they are. I'm just saying I feel like everyone here has abandoned their short term memory.

[–]angrydroid 24 points25 points ago

Oh. So it's a castle this time. What next?

[–]sn44 20 points21 points ago

"Abandoned WWII Axis Research Lab hidden in the Italian Alps"

[–]angrydroid 2 points3 points ago

You, sir, I like the way you think.

[–]GEN_CORNPONE 4 points5 points ago

"Former Hilltop Castle So Heavy It Forms Deep Gorge."

[–]angrydroid 2 points3 points ago

This one is also promising. MOAR!

[–]LTG16 12 points13 points ago

Can you put this as the subreddit banner so people will stop posting this?

[–]camp_jacking_roy 7 points8 points ago

I think that's where I'd hide out if I were a seismologist on the run.

[–]PompeiiGraffiti 3 points4 points ago

So topical!

[–]Signoffish53 7 points8 points ago

if i had a fucking dime for every time I've seen this picture...

[–]nzulauf 3 points4 points ago

Once again with the use of the word "breathtaking" STOP!

This did not take my breath away.... So over dramatic..

[–]geoscientist1971 0 points1 point ago

I prefer 'stunning'

[–]nzulauf 0 points1 point ago

ugh... Do you tire of those adjectives as well?

[–]jshultz 0 points1 point ago

I need to live in a place where there is abandoned castles. Around here we have abandoned cliff dwellings.

[–]tommypickels -1 points0 points ago

Isn't this at the Roman Forum?

[–]GladiatoRiley 0 points1 point ago

No. It is an Italian mill...

[–]that-jennings-lad 1 point2 points ago

I've been to Sorrento and have seen this myself! The first time in this subreddit I've actually seen the place in real life and I'm glad someone else thought it was as beautiful as I did.

[–]I_eat_burritos 0 points1 point ago

This is not a castle. It is a cake.

[–]CornellWest 0 points1 point ago

Isn't that the college of seismology?

[–]nicksatdown 0 points1 point ago

Now this is just a Fantastic shot. Thank you for sharing this!

[–]AryayrA 0 points1 point ago

That's some Forest Temple shit right there.

[–]CrazyDrummer 0 points1 point ago

If this is a castle I would won the battle just by peeing from the clifftop !!!!!.

[–]jb700000 1 point2 points ago

There is a downvote in the moat. It was destined to be a repost

[–]envyzerg 0 points1 point ago

The Forest temple!

[–]StiffSox 0 points1 point ago

Man...last time I saw this place it was an abandoned Kenny Roger's Roasters.

[–]dragon_stout 1 point2 points ago

STOP POSTING THIS FUCKING PICTURE!

[–]buriedunderbricks 0 points1 point ago

I don't care if it's a castle or not, I still like it.

[–]Dawn_Of_The_Dave -1 points0 points ago

I don't even think it looks good.

[–]bobsagetfullhouse -2 points-1 points ago

This is about the third time i've seen this on reddit in the last 2 years but still don't mind because I love being reminded of how cool this picture is.

And it's been reposted at least a dozen times, it's not a castle, and it's not breathtaking.
