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”.
Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.
The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.
Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
