Description

Predjama Castle, also known as Predjamski Grad, is a medieval fortress built into the mouth of a large cave on a cliff in the Slovenian countryside. Originating from a 13th-century fortress, the current castle mainly reflects 16th-century Renaissance and Gothic renovations. The castle’s history includes tales of knights, sieges, and hidden passages.
