Game of Thrones fans scream!

✨Real-life Dorn Palace cliff wonder + complete guide to the medieval armory 🌄Overview "Valar Morghulis" Game of Thrones fans unite!✨ This is the real-life inspiration for the Water Gardens of Dorne in Game of Thrones — Castillo de Alquézar!

Holding the wall while walking is nerve-wracking but super thrilling, full Game of Thrones Dorn court vibes! 【Medieval Armory】🛡️ The cellar is filled with 12th-century rusty swords, spears, and chainmail. The cold lighting creates a perfect Game of Thrones dungeon atmosphere~ 【Church of Santa Maria】⛪ Romanesque murals + carved capitals, hidden Easter egg: find the "Game of Thrones was here" fan graffiti on the wall! 【Canyon Viewing Platform】🌅 At sunset, the castle turns golden and the canyon glows blue. The best photo spot is the west terrace! 🚌Transportation Guide Location: Alquézar town, Huesca Province, Aragón region, on a hilltop 🚗Self-drive: 1.5h from Zaragoza|3.5h from Barcelona, free parking in town 🚌Bus: ALSA bus from Huesca to Alquézar (only 2 trips daily!
