Sad story for the Legend of the Well.
Summary: 3 Turks prisoners were promised freedom after digging a well through stone. Before the well complete, the king passed on. The wife did not respect his husband words and killed the 3 prisoners. Prisoners' last wish was to write on the well - You may have water, but you have no soul.

Castle are built on a hill, so we exhibit the scenery.
