Real-Life Flintstones Stone House in Portugal

This is one house where holidaymakers could have a yabba dabba do time.

Casa do Penedo (The House of Stone) was built in 1974 and is situated in the Fafe mountains of northern Portugal. Its unusual design looks like something out of the stone age! It has been built between four large boulders connected with cement mix.

Built by engineer Guimarães, the castle was meant to be a rural retreat for the holidays for a local family.

When looked at from far, it is just a pile of huge boulders.
