Yes. It's called cantilever construction. Every deck collapse video you see is evidence of the price of exceeding design parameters though

>>43178686
Probably not. An architect's dream is often an engineer's nightmare. I'm no expert but I doubt it's possible to support so much weight without having the castle collapse altogether.
Having said that, I'd so wanna see something like that in real life, even if it a few changes had to be made to actually build it... But that's never gonna happen, sadly. No one has enough money to even consider the construction of something like that, no ponyfag at least.

>possible?
Yes.
>practical?
No.
>achievable within a reasonable budget?
Ha.

>>43178686
Not anymore. Only the ancient Agyptians would have been able to construct this.

>>43178686
Yes all we need is bricks and paint and hard work

canterlot (castle) vs canterlot (city)

make it make sense

versailles (castle) vs versailles (city)

make it make sense

Canterlot castle is the castle located in the city. Canterlot city is the city.
How is this confusing?

Lol. Ponies wandering around Celestia's living room, confused, because they thought it was a library or something

in space

Where did they put a city on the side of a mountain anyway? Did they carve out a flat spot? Is it mostly vertical? Is it all suspended by alicorn magic?

maybe Elon Musk might build it on Mars some day.

Probably carved over time for wealthy nobles and citizens to be near the princess aka the one in power.

Man, I'd love to visit an MLP theme park irl. Canterlot castle would be too much to ask but I guess a replica of Ponyville with the most important buildings or something like that could be possible. Maybe you have some other ideas.
Jewsbro would earn money from the tickets so it would actually be financially sound. Just give me ponies, the fucking mouse has shown it can be done.
I know it ain't happening but a man can dream.

based and pony pilled

>>43179059
I bet it was ordered by Celestia after Nightmare rebellion because she didn't have heart to live in their old castle after Luna was gone. As for building itself, I think the foundation stones anchored to the mountainside were carved by earth pony stonemasons.

my wet dream is an MLP G4 themed Disneyland in Orlando, so when you go to Mare Fair you literally see Canterlot off in the distance

>>43181175
Basically this. Just keep it pony only.

>>43179038
no it's located ontop in fact the castle's perimeter is the old city. outside the fortification is the rest, then the suburbs and districts like Washburn, Ashten, Hemlort, Marefair and Bloomington.

Find something to earn a billion dollar, and sign a contract with Hasbro to build it with like, a permanent convention there.
Not the Disney attractions but something more creative with real horses and ponies you can hug and ride. places where artists can meet, RL comedies, adult friendly spots and child friendly spots too. And a recreation of Ponyville.

Imagine the smell
