      It’s beautiful! reminds me so much of Illiantia’s Deep from Skyrim lmfao https://static0.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/skyrim-ilinatas-deep.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5

        OP, any explanation for that duck house you wanted us to believe was part of a templar ritual place?

            Pan’s Labyrinth features the second place. I swore to never re-watch this (beautiful) movie.

              You know how for a lot of big cities in Europe there’s one or two places outside the city but closeby that are well worth visiting (for example, Potsdam near Berlin)?

              If you visit Lisbon it’s well worth it to visit Sintra (were this is) and Cascais (which is on the way and easier to access since there’s a commuter train that goes directly there from Cais Do Sodré in Lisbon).

                These are not the same place. The inside picture is a hole in the ground, no water around (was there a couple of months ago) The outside, middle of the lake tower, I haven’t seen there…

                            They don’t. That’s not what it’s like. It’s just a big well in the ground.

                            Second pic is the accurate one. You go up the hill, walk in, then all the way down. Exit from there. It’s not surrounded by water.

                                Just to add to this - the first picture is an unnamed novelty duck house near the ground of Pena palace. It’s only a few feet high.

                                The second is the Torre da Regaleira.

                                    duck house like chicken coop? i am having some moderate confusion i think

                                        If a chicken coop didn’t have a lockable door, was on an island or raft in a body of water, and housed ducks instead of chickens, yeah.

                                      Swims over

                                      Looks down

                                      “Well…”

                                      Weird. Doesn’t look like the same place at all.

                                      I’ve looked up pictures of the palace and the initiation well, but that tower is never in the well pictures.

                                      This map shows what the top of the well looks like.

                                          It’s not on the same grounds. In the same area of Sintra, Portugal but separate locations. The duck house is from the National palace and the well is from the Quinta de Regaleira.
