Courtyard of Porcia Castle in Spittal
On my walk through Spittal an der Drau, I peeped into the courtyard of Porcia Castle (Schloss Porcia). Preparations for a theatre festival took place right at this moment. I guess such a Renaissance court is an excellent location for a classical stage play.
Pillory in Spittal an der Drau
In front of Porcia Castle (Schloss Porcia) in the Carinthian city of Spittal an der Drau stands a historic pillory, a 16th-century stone column symbolising medieval justice. Once used for public punishment, it serves as a reminder of past legal practices and societal norms.
