The photo shows the view from the Hohensalzburg Fortress in Salzburg, Austria. It overlooks the city and sits at an altitude of 506 metres. At 250 m (820 ft) long and 150 m (490 ft) wide, it is one of the largest medieval castles in Europe.
The fortress was refurbished from the late 19th century. We went up to the castle on the Festungsbahn funicular railway which was first opened in 1892. During World War I it held Italian prisoners of war and Nazi activists.
When I wrote about the fortress back in 2015, I was able to include a video of some of the attractions of the fortress. I’ll try to put more photos in the comments.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. Here is another photo of it looking through the hole where a cannon sits.

I'm glad I tickled your curiosity that much. Thanks for the link too. I haven't looked at those photos for ages and it WAS 16 years ago so the video was a good reminder for me.

We visited there when we were in London. All such places are amazing to me. We saw so many really interesting sights on our travels.

That's a fine castle.
I would quite like to go and see it
Maybe if Rangers ever have to play in Salzburg again I might actually get to see the castle.

It's worth a visit but use the funicular to get up that big hill.
