Edit: OP updated the image, so the below no longer applies.
Original comment:
The image on the right is not the interior of the structure on the left. The right is a photo of an initiation well (also at Sintra).

What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.
Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world
Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Fuck. Let me edit it, then.
Those pictures are not of the same tower. The one on the left is indeed the swamp tower of Pena Palace, but the one on the right is the Inverted Tower in Quinta da Regaleira. Both in Sintra, Portugal.
Nonetheless both are amazing by itself! (And the whole Sintra region)
I feel like I've seen this in an anime movie but I can't place it.
Makes me think of Shadow of the Colossus.
Ah, Liurnia of the Lakes.
It looks like it's grabbing it's cheeks like in Home Alone
Have a wallpaper of this, never knew what it was until now.
In an alternate reality where Trump was held accountable for his crimes, the seized Trump Tower would be renamed Swamp Tower
