The Alchemist's Castle - Piria

in photography •  8 years ago 

 Fernando Juan Santiago Francisco María Piria de Grossi is better known just as Francisco Piria, he was a businessman of 1870s Montevideo, but most know by his true passion: Alchemy

Below it's a picture I took last weekend when visiting one of his castles. Hope you like how I played with the angles, and also that you are able to see all the details this castle has. I believe the sun was in the best possible position when i took this picture.

Do you think is worth writing a full post about him and this castle?
