  1. I've never, ever heard of Elba Island before - those views are absolutely STUNNING! I love the history that goes with it, too - I never knew that people used to boil Christians alive?!? Eurgh.

    Since the exact date of construction is unknown, I'll go with the theory that it was built by an Etruscan queen. It only adds to the whole history of the place :)

    1. Hi Tom! Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately Saracen pirates used to boil Christians alive to frighten the defenders of the castle! Terrible but true...
