Rapunzel's castle

Day 7: I love this castle because it is the German architecture with a Disney flare. I would love seeing this all the time.

Why don't we build things architecturally beautiful more often. We're practical about cost (which Is important), but having some aesthetic beauty in the fabric that surrounds us for decades is worth some extra cost. Compare a beautiful old European bridge to a practical, no-frills American bridge. We get used to ugliness.

The Kingdom of Corona was inspired by one of the most visited places in France – the Mont Saint-Michel on the Normandy Coast, which before the pandemic used to welcome nearly 2.5 million guests every year. The island is still a home to 44 residents, including the nuns and monks that live in the Abbey and is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. Moreover, the monastery was also an inspiration for the city of Minas Tirith, which is a location in the Lord Of The Rings.

Rapunzel's Tower is a setting that symbolizes her cooped up little prison tower for all these years. Her first step out of the tower and onto real grass is the beginning of her new life.

Nerd fact: the palace setting in Tangled is named Corona, and "Corona" is actually the extending ring of light around the Sun... hence the sun symbol representing the palace in the movie
