OP, any explanation for that duck house you wanted us to believe was part of a templar ritual place?
How the heck do they keep it from flooding?
They don't. That's not what it's like. It's just a big well in the ground.
Second pic is the accurate one. You go up the hill, walk in, then all the way down. Exit from there. It's not surrounded by water.
Just to add to this - the first picture is an unnamed novelty duck house near the ground of Pena palace. It's only a few feet high.
The second is the Torre da Regaleira.
duck house like chicken coop? i am having some moderate confusion i think
How I imagined the tower looks like in Annihilation (novel).
Yes, Jeff Vandermeer directly cites it as an inspiration! https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/jeffvandermeer
Came to the comments to see if anyone else had the same thought… and then to spin it off into a discussion about Annihilation. One of the few instances where I love the movie and the book almost equally, and in big part because of their differences while still having the same foundation. Also have to mention that the story almost feels like a sequel/logical trajectory to my favorite Lovecraft story, The Colour Out of Space
Sintra is one of the best places I've visit in Europe. This, and the Palacio Nacional da Pena, were fantastic.
I just know this is the 5th dungeon, and the 4th dungeon will reward me with something that will make me swim.
You know how for a lot of big cities in Europe there's one or two places outside the city but closeby that are well worth visiting (for example, Potsdam near Berlin)?
If you visit Lisbon it's well worth it to visit Sintra (were this is) and Cascais (which is on the way and easier to access since there's a commuter train that goes directly there from Cais Do Sodré in Lisbon).
It sank into the swamp?
These are not the same place. The inside picture is a hole in the ground, no water around (was there a couple of months ago) The outside, middle of the lake tower, I haven’t seen there…
It's beautiful! reminds me so much of Illiantia's Deep from Skyrim lmfao https://static0.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/skyrim-ilinatas-deep.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1.5
I can eat that anyway. Peephole it too.
