Nice ruins of castle above the city of Strumica. Opened all day. And narrow but good road for car goes right to the front of the ruins.

Great little fortress with amazing views over the valley! The path is not well maintained so be wary of that.

Nice old castle Ruins! Good to wander and walk around. I recommend stopping at the restaurant by for a coffee break or even to have lunch! People are very nice and helpful. If they can't speak english they will try somehow to help you in any case.

Clean Mountain air and you can see the whole town from the top. It's a historical place worth visiting. Unfortunately a lot of rubbish everywhere.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
