Hey, so, I know everyone is complaining about their favourite castle/fortress/palace missing but... it's missing the Acropolis. The Acropolis, in Athens. There's no more famous castle than that. Or fortress, whatever you want to call it. I get that this is vibe coded but I really wonder how the data was compiled. This will take serious effort to fix if it's so deficient it doesn't include the most famous castle of al…
When you tap a marker often you can’t see the castle in the photo because it’s cropped to fit a rectangle with an unusual aspect ratio. That element should be allowed to adjust its height so the image is scaled at its own aspect ratio rather than cropped. Eg you can only see the mounds of Berwick Castle and Bamburgh Castle in the North East of England.

Hi that is me! Now I guess I have to fix the project and make it proper.
I love this project, like you I'm a big castle fan and tourist.
Cool idea, horrible dataset. Its limited to things in Wikidata rather than using OSM, and it must have an article on Wikipedia in English to count so I am sure it is missing just based on that. And somehow it misses many castles (and other categories it includes) which do meet those requirements. There is no definition of what they use to categorize anything either. And it clearly isn't applied consistently. There is…

(at least when it comes to languages based on the Latin script)
Nice project :3 There's a MASSIVE amount of castles missing Just for France, the castle visible on the map -> this is not even 5% Depending on the count it goes from 20000 castles to 45000 (just for France!)
