  • Quite a surprise at this castle. Large, imposing and well restored. The style of the restoration seems to have followed not trying to build in the same style and stones exactly and create a replica...

  • Absolutely amazing place. Well worth the visit and the entrance fee. We spent 2 hours there. Steeped in history and there are lots of information points around the rooms and grounds. One word of advice, if you are not fit go by car or taxi. Very steep climb up the streets.
  • Impressive fortress on top of a hill. Seems like a hidden gem as there were almost no tourists on a weekday in November. The audio guide is really good and makes you feel the atmosphere of the past. Make sure to have comfortable shoes as there are many rocks and stairs to climb. Also for kids a good place as there are always new things to discover around every corner.
