À propos
Faits rapides: Offrant des vues panoramiques sur le fleuve Sado, le château a joué un rôle stratégique lors des batailles de la Reconquista. Ses murs conservent des couches d'histoire allant des influences mauresques aux influences chrétiennes médiévales, reflétant des siècles de conflits.
Points forts: En gravissant les murs du château, on découvre un surprenant labyrinthe de tunnels et de remparts où les archers montaient autrefois la garde. La citerne adjacente, toujours intacte, témoigne des techniques d'ingénierie hydraulique anciennes qui assuraient l'approvisionnement en eau pendant les sièges.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear sturdy walking shoes as the terrain includes uneven stone paths and steep stairs.
- Bring a camera for sweeping views over the Sado River especially from the highest towers.
- Avoid weekends in summer when small tour groups can crowd narrow corridors.
- Don’t miss the castle cistern area located to the south, often overlooked by visitors.
