The Angevin-Aragonese castle in Agropoli has a triangular shape with three circular towers and stands on the highest point of the headland. Around the walls there is a wide and deep moat which today is visible just on the side of the village and disappears while on the eastern side because of agricultural works and past landslide.
The castle was built on the 6th century Byzantine foundations by the Aragonese reign in the 15th century. The Inside part of the castle is composed of a central square, nowdays used as on open air theater, and on the northern side by the “French Room”.
The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
