Ambras Castle

Today we had another fabulous day with Renfrebar.
First we discovered Ambras Castle. 
I blipped the Inner Courtyard.
"The Inner Courtyard, decorated between 1564 and 1567 with grisaille painting al fresco (grey painting on still-wet plaster), is among the best-preserved examples of fresco from the sixteenth century. The representations of princely virtues and muses, female and male heroes, and diverse heroic acts sought to display the royalty as exemplary. They relate to their commissioner Archduke Ferdinand II, patron of the arts and host of lavish festivities." (Wikipedia)
The painting is really amazing. The wall and even the windows in my thumbnail (those with the wooden frames) are fake, only painting ;-)
Sadly we didn't took the time to visit the castle inside or have a guided tour. It would have been well worth. Next time!
But we also wanted to visit Hall, a village nearby with a lovely inner city and many churches .
There are still so many things to discover... we have a lot of reasons to come back soon (Be warned, Renfrebar :-P  )
