HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION
The original fortress, from the 13th century, is what is the current core of the castle in the shape of a D, surrounded by eight turrets. The tower keep was covered with tiles. The main entry gate has a spectacular rounded Romanesque arch. The interior of the parade grounds is distributed in a series of living spaces, attached to the wall, like an interior city. The upper turrets are evidence of a reform in the 15th century, that adapted fortresses to artillery uses.
