Brno, Czech Republic - Hrad Spilberk / Spielberg Castle
More pictures from Brno, Czech republic taken in May. These fotos are of the Hrad Spilberk (Spielberg Castle), located atop the hill of the same name.

Hrad Spilberk / Spielberg Castle - This is the main, inner castle building. You can see part of the moat in front of the building. Behind me are walls that drop around 50 feet, straight down.
