Each year lots of traditional castles spring up for the Colossal Castle Contest on Classic-Castle.com, but there are a few that depict more exotic themes in the LEGO Castle theme, such as Fianat‘s Ras-al-Jabar, which displays a set of great-looking Middle Eastern architectural wonders.

The citadel looks amazing, built into the cliff with walls angled against the baseplate’s grid.

The market on the shore also features off-grid structures and a natural-looking beach.
