One of the remarkable things about traveling to different countries is that some of your perspectives change. In this case, my ideas about moats underwent a complete revision. A moat such as this one was a formidable obstacle to any attempt at storming the castle. I keep remembering back through all the movies I have seen with castles to see if I can remember ever seeing a moat as large as this one. Most of the iconic movies castles are high on a hill reminiscent of Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria. I went through a whole gallery of photos of movie castles and did not see one with a similar moat to my image above.
