Korzkiew Castle

Korzkiew, Poland

The first castle in Korzkiew was erected in 1325 by Jan from Syrokomla. It was part of the 'trail of eagles nests', one of a chain of 14th century (reign of King Casimir) medieval castles that protected the north- western border of royal Krakow that went all the way to Czestochowa. The castle is being restored and currently houses a boutique hotel and a conference center-banquet hall.

Great visiting place, nice for a quick walk in the near park and forest area. Very interesting castle with rooms and spaces for rental - photoshoots, balls, family gatherings or so.

14th century castle which is being renovated and commercialized as a hotel and/or event-planning venue. Situated on a hill, bit far from Kraków. The surrounding and the building as a whole is really amazing but in some parts the clear architectural mis-match of the modern bricks and old stony walls can be visible. Interiors are though impressively decorated and nice overall ambiance. Friendly and welcoming staffs.

Manarola

Manarola is a small town, a frazione of the comune of Riomaggiore. It is the second-smallest of the famous Cinque Terre towns frequented by tourists, with a population of 353.

Manarola may be the oldest of the towns in the Cinque Terre, with the cornerstone of the church, San Lorenzo, dating from 1338. The local dialect is Manarolese, which is marginally different from the dialects in the nearby area. The name 'Manarola' is probably a dialectical evolution of the Latin, 'magna rota'. In the Manarolese dialect this was changed to 'magna roea' which means 'large wheel', in reference to the mill wheel in the town.

Manarola's primary industries have traditionally been fishing and wine-making. The local wine, called Sciacchetrà, is especially renowned; references from Roman writings mention the high quality of the wine produced in the region.
