I had noticed that some places in Berserk feeled familiar to me, and the other day I found a thread, withs several exemple that some buildings used by Miura are indeed Spanish.


1- El alcazar de Segovia is almost identical to Grifith dreamed castle.

2-The same one in the anime.

3-Castillo de Coca de Ávila as the Doldrey Fortress

4-Iglesia de San Martin as Enoch church

5-Mezquita de Cordoba

6- Palacio de la Aljaferia de Zaragoza

Miura must take his time looking all kind of european medieval buildings, he truly wants the perfection, and we all love him for this XD.

That's a great post ! :guts:

Miura takes a lot of inspiration from real life objects/events, but seeing those pictures compared to the manga counterpart is really nice.

Some of those are obvious matches, but the some are just generic castles and I don't think you can point to any picture and say thats where Muira got it from, the first two I'm not so sure about. They don't "feeled" right to me.

Well, looks more than obvious, as far as I'm concerned....... :serpico:

And to state that those are "generic" castles, you should provide pictures, too, otherwise it's hard to see.....

We have been able to point to real life weapons, even real life people (the Kushans), why not buildings?? :carcus:
 
Hey thanks for the post pjboom but the castles arent really identical although there are a whole lot of similarities between Miuras castles and other buldings and these pictures

Yeah, there are several threads here about this very subject, and countless posts in whatever episode threads the buildings first appeared. For reference, Miura has also been inspired by Italian and French architecture among other things.

Even for the fortress of Doldrey? I didn't remember that particular point, but anyway I think the real "Castillo de Coca" style is pretty uncommon, and it's cool to be able to see such similarities with a picture!!!! :guts:

Isn't it the point in "taking inspiration" from something?? :carcus:
