The winding staircase, panoramic photograph.

A winding staircase climbs up the abrupt slope of the tiny island to the ancient Christian shrine of Gaztelugatxe, in the rough Basque Coast of the Bay of Viscay.

built around the 11th century and dedicated to Saint John, this little rocky island and temple were attacked and burned down by Drake himself in 1593. The shrine has been destroyed by attacks, nature and accidents many times. Last fire happened in 1978.

This island and its winding staircase have been used to create Dragonstone castle in Game of Thrones.

There is a detail picture of the staircase here:

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
