Marching off to face my destiny… Hello from the Castle of Gjirokastra! This castle sits on a rocky hill and overlooks the town of Gjirokastra. It was built in the 12-13th centuries. Legend says that Princess Argyro jumped from a cliff in the castle with her child to escape from the Ottomans to resist being captured. The castle was later used as a prison in the 1900s during the Communism era. Gjirokastra is home of the famous National Folk Festival which celebrates traditional Albanian folk culture. It takes place in the fall every four years. It’s so crazy and interesting to me to visit monuments that often have a dark past which nowadays are converted to museums or spaces that hold festivals and celebrations. It’s very weird to me that time is the only difference where so many events have taken place. Does anyone else have these thoughts? #chasingcrystal #femaleriders #motorcycledream #sportbikelifestyle #ladyriders #womenwhoridemotorcycles #instamotorbike #daineserider#dainesemoto #motocampingtrip #womenmotorcyclist #asianwomen #ladyridersofinstagram #scorpionhelmet #dainesejacket #motorsportlifestyle #femaleridersworldwide #gjirokaster #gjirokastër #gjirokastra #castleofgjirokastra #gjirokastracastle #albaniahistory #castlephotography #castle🏰 #castleruins #unescoworldheritagesite #unescosite #unescoworldheritagesites (at Gjirokastër) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgPaHuYoTbi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
