Revište
Slovakia
Revište is a Gothic ruin, and it sits where a castle meant to watch a river ought to: on the edge of a wooded escarpment above the right bank of the Hron. Administratively it falls within the town of Žarnovica, in the district of Revištské Podzámčie, a name that simply means the settlement below the castle. As you climb, keep the river in mind. The whole point of this place was what moved along the valley beneath it, and the shape of what survives was dictated by the rock it stands on.
