Sobre
Fatos rápidos: A fortaleza domina o horizonte com suas enormes paredes de pedra e torres imponentes, oferecendo vistas panorâmicas de suas muralhas. Serviu como uma fortificação militar estratégica e residência de poderosos condes medievais.
Destaques: Entre na masmorra onde prisioneiros aguardavam seu destino e imagine os ecos da história nos corredores de pedra. Suba as estreitas escadas em espiral até as torres de observação e contemple vistas deslumbrantes dos telhados da cidade antiga e do rio que corre abaixo.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Wear comfortable shoes as cobblestone paths and stairs can be uneven and slippery.
- Bring a camera for excellent photo ops from the top of the towers, especially at sunset.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter visit, as it gets busier then.
- Skip the audio guide if short on time; informational signs are well placed throughout.
