Italy Taufers Castle
First mentioned in the mid 11th century Taufers Castle, a huge medieval fortress which towers on a rock above the village and was built from the early 13th century onwards. The preserved castle complex is a popular film location, providing the setting of the films The Red Violin, Just Married. It also served as a picturesque backdrop for Roman Polanski's 1967 horror classic The Fearless Vampire Killers.
Photography Tips
Mid-range zoom lens would be helpful.
Although the shot was taken around noon, sunset will provide much better views. In order to catch the best view on castle with mountains as a backdrop - go to the spot I've indicated on the map, but not too far behind, as the road takes turn and the castle will be out of view.
