Antico castello a strapiombo su un mare in tempesta nell’oscurità

A colossal, weathered castle, perched precariously on a jagged cliff edge overlooking a turbulent sea. Gargoyles with menacing expressions guard the crumbling battlements. A swirling vortex of dark clouds hangs overhead, occasionally illuminated by flashes of unnatural lightning. The scene is depicted in a dramatic, high-contrast neo-noir style with painterly textures, emphasizing decay and foreboding.
