概要
クイックファクト: 周囲の田園地帯から200メートル上にそびえる石灰華の丘の上に位置するこの中世の要塞は、面積でヨーロッパ最大級の城郭群に数えられます。その規模と戦略的な位置により、かつてはこの地域の行政、軍事、文化の中心地となり、その面積はおよそ4.5エーカーに及びます。
見どころ: 外壁をよく見ると、再建されたレプリカではなく、何世紀にもわたって手つかずのまま残されたオリジナルのゴシック様式の窓やロマネスク様式の彫刻を見つけることができます。300年にわたる城の緩やかな劣化は、実際には「修復」された城にはない本物の中世の石造建築を保存しました。
インサイダーヒント
- Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes: the terrain inside the castle is uneven, with steep stone staircases and loose gravel paths.
- Bring a windbreaker even on sunny days, the hilltop catches strong gusts that can whip through the ruins unexpectedly.
- Skip the audio guide and instead pick up the paper map at the entrance, it lets you explore at your own pace without queuing.
- For the best photo, position yourself on the wooden bridge just past the main gate around late afternoon when the sun lights up the upper palace.
