Castle built into the mountain side

We visited the Predjama Castle in Slovenia in February. It is literally built into the mountain side, with cave systems running under and throughout it. The first castle on these grounds is thought to have been built in the 12th century. It was built primarily as a fortress. We were able to walk through some of it and see the living quarters, torture chamber, and various relics. In the summertime people can visit the caves below the castle where secret entrances once were. The kids LOVED it although C was very afraid of the torutre chamber and was convinced there were monsters in the castle.
