Hurtige fakta: Named after King Alfonso V of Aragon, this fortress played a key role in controlling the surrounding area in medieval times. The walls stretch over 300 meters, offering a glimpse into ancient military architecture.
Højdepunkter: An unusual secret lies in the fortress's walls: they contain Roman concrete chunks taken from nearby ruins, linking two eras in one structure. The panoramic view from the high towers lets you see the Aniene River gorge carving through the landscape below.
Insidertips
- Wear sturdy shoes to navigate uneven stone pathways safely.
- Bring a camera for unique close-ups of the Roman concrete fragments in the walls.
- Visit on a weekday afternoon to avoid weekend crowds.
- Pair your visit with a walk along the nearby Aniene River for a nature break.
