A majestic castle of refined beauty, visible only from the outside. The house next to it has an interesting Mediterranean feel, it's a shame that it is in a state of abandonment and closed. The town is cute and particular, with some homes of refined and original taste. The walkway on the external walls is beautiful. There are many architectural points of interest, it's a shame that there are almost no activities in the village, it deserves much more to honor the historical importance it has experienced and to enhance the sense of the village.

Very, very beautiful... shame that the people who live there are quite old but very clean, tidy and full of history.

I had never been there and I only knew it because I was from the province of Alessandria. I must honestly say that it is a wonderful location for weddings and other events. The structure and its parks are already a gem that with a few flowers added for the event I attended, gave a splendor that I never expected. I can safely give a 10 rating in everything including the service. I highly recommend it even if I'm not biased. Congratulations to all.

The location deserves 5 stars and deserves a property worthy of the place. Unfortunately, I was able to see that impropriety and rudeness are part of the owner's baggage. The wedding of our son, planned for two years, had an unworthy ending with a call from the police from an elusive resident who had complained. In the end it was understood that they had probably been called by the lady and her husband. Stupid move because the music had stopped half an hour earlier when with arrogance and rudeness the "castellana" had interrupted the party that was taking place in a correct and polite manner, given the education and the very high level of the guests. To put an end to the antics, as the father of the groom, I assumed responsibility for everything and handed my documents over to the Carabinieri and made myself available to them. An unworthy ending given the conditions promised by the owner two years in advance and changed three days before the event, after having received the balance from me. Stay away from this arrogant, rude and unfair person. Shame !

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
