About

Quick facts: The masonry with thick stone walls reaches up to 12 meters in height, making it one of the most robust castles in the area. Its grounds contain several towers and old cisterns that once served to supply water during sieges.

Highlights: An underground channel flows beneath the castle, supplying it with water, which made it nearly unconquerable. At night, light and sound shows take place at the castle, bringing its history and the atmosphere of time's wind to life.
