They don't. That's not what it's like. It's just a big well in the ground.

Second pic is the accurate one. You go up the hill, walk in, then all the way down. Exit from there. It's not surrounded by water.

If a chicken coop didn't have a lockable door, was on an island or raft in a body of water, and housed ducks instead of chickens, yeah.

Weird. Doesn't look like the same place at all.

I've looked up pictures of the palace and the initiation well, but that tower is never in the well pictures.

This map shows what the top of the well looks like.

It’s not on the same grounds. In the same area of Sintra, Portugal but separate locations. The duck house is from the National palace and the well is from the Quinta de Regaleira.

Sintra is one of the best places I've visit in Europe. This, and the Palacio Nacional da Pena, were fantastic.

How I imagined the tower looks like in Annihilation (novel).

Came to the comments to see if anyone else had the same thought… and then to spin it off into a discussion about Annihilation. One of the few instances where I love the movie and the book almost equally, and in big part because of their differences while still having the same foundation. Also have to mention that the story almost feels like a sequel/logical trajectory to my favorite Lovecraft story, The Colour Out of Space

I just know this is the 5th dungeon, and the 4th dungeon will reward me with something that will make me swim.

You know how for a lot of big cities in Europe there's one or two places outside the city but closeby that are well worth visiting (for example, Potsdam near Berlin)?

If you visit Lisbon it's well worth it to visit Sintra (were this is) and Cascais (which is on the way and easier to access since there's a commuter train that goes directly there from Cais Do Sodré in Lisbon).

Pan's Labyrinth features the second place. I swore to never re-watch this (beautiful) movie.

These are not the same place. The inside picture is a hole in the ground, no water around (was there a couple of months ago) The outside, middle of the lake tower, I haven’t seen there…
