Watercolor Fortress Looming Over a Busy Street

An ancient stone fortress rises in the middle of a busy city street, painted in watercolor with soft washes and color bleeds. The fortress features tall square towers with crenellations, a heavy iron gate, weathered stone, and patches of moss and ivy. Around it, a lively crowd of pedestrians, bicycles, and cars weave through market stalls, colorful awnings, and storefronts. Neon signs reflect on the wet pavement. The scene is bathed in warm late-afternoon light, with long shadows and a pale, airy sky. The watercolor texture should show paper grain and gentle edge softness, giving a dreamy, slightly surreal feeling as the city pauses to gaze at the impossible fortress.
