The Swallow's nest castle

Swallow's Nest Castle is an extraordinary architectural monument located on a
forty-meter cliff in Crimea. Around the rock are endless expanses of the Black Sea
that smells of freshness. The castle can be seen from very far, although it is small in
size. It will take more than a thousand steps to get to the building. But after
overcoming this distance you will be able to enjoy the luxury of the palace and
consider it in detail.
Outside of the palace is built of stone, so it resembles the Middle Ages. The
interior of the building consisted of an entrance hall, living room, and two bedrooms.
Inside the castle, there was also an office, a dining room, and a small staircase. The
restoration was carried out only on the outside of the building, so inside it looks
exactly like many years ago.
You can hear many legends about the origin of the castle from the guides. The
most common is that the construction was started with love, but whose exactly is
unknown. That is why this building has another name "The Castle of Love". The
place is permeated with true love because in 1927 it was able to survive a nine-
magnitude earthquake.
Nowadays it is difficult to visit the castle because the cliff on which it stands,
gradually shifts and the castle with underground shifts can fall into the sea.
