Todolella Castle, Todolella, Spain

Todolella Castle was built in the 14th century and later rebuilt as a residence in the 16th century. It comprises four structures, sitting around a central patio, where there are different types of rooms.

The mason-built walls of Todolella Castle are topped with merlons, thanks to a recent restoration project. The castle is currently a private property and inhabited, but you can come for a visit when you book in advance.

Although it is a private property, we were able to go almost to the garden because it is not fenced and access can be done by car. They don't like to be bothered; There is a sign on the door stating that you cannot visit and that they should not ring the doorbell.

It is a home and cannot be visited. But the town anchored in the Middle Ages, all in stone. Within the town you can access the castle. But there was no restaurant or bar open, there were no services. It wasn't bad...

Mandatory visit when visiting the Ports region, specifically the beautiful town of La Todolella.

The castle cannot be visited because it is private property. After following the directions to get to the castle along a path that if I do not go with my 4x4, I find a sign stating that it is private property. I recommend NOT GOING to the castle because you will find that it is closed and on the outside there is nothing to see, what a disappointment.

Historic Site of the week

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
