This is a palace in Alexandria that literally looks like the real-life version of the Sandcastles we made as kids on the beach. Bonus; it’s also on the coast in Alexandria. It was built as a fortress in the 14th century, but did nothing but look good, since it actually failed to protect the area from the Ottomans. What’s most interesting about the Palace is the area it’s in, since it’s very picturesque with the sea behind, and a ton of restaurants around the street. #beach #castle #palace Photo by: Elias Roviela via Flickr
