Miramare Castle: The Castle Built for Love (and Cursed by Love)

#falladventures Perched on the Gulf of Trieste, Emperor Franz Joseph had this dazzling white castle built between 1856 and 1860 for his beloved wife Charlotte of Belgium. Archduke Maximilian personally designed every detail to create the perfect love nest overlooking the sea they both adored. Here they spent their happiest days… until Maximilian left for Mexico and was executed in 1867. Charlotte went mad with grief. Ever since, no one who has slept a full night inside has enjoyed long life or happiness: the “Miramare curse” struck Duke Amedeo d’Aosta (dead within months) and even the American general who lived there in 1945. A breathtaking castle born of pure love, forever marked by eternal tragedy.
