In the south-west of Slovenia is one of the most visited castles in Europe, Predjama Castle. Built in the 13th century, its tourist attraction is due to the place where it was built, since it is built in the mouth of a cave . A very curious situation to build a construction of such dimensions, but if you think about it, it is an ideal place to build a castle. Accessing it is very complicated since it is about 120 meters high at the foot of a cliff .
Currently there are numerous guided tours of both the castle and the cave in which it is located. Regarding the visit to the interior of the castle, visitors have the opportunity to know what life was like in that castle, thanks to the various restored rooms of the castle that have the original facilities and furniture .
Among the most interesting rooms in the entire castle are the residential rooms, the dungeons or the chapel. You can also see inside numerous weapons and oil paintings of the time, as well as a sculpture of the Pier that dates from 1420. Some pieces are already preserved in the National Museum of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Seeing all this, we realize how the castle was adapted to the cave and its rock walls. This cave located behind the castle has three routes by which it can be accessed from the castle. Of the three, the best known is that of the stable. A curious place in this cave is the so-called Passage of the Names . As we can discover with its name, this place is a corridor where the signatures of all the visitors who have passed through there since the 16th century have been marked.
