Super recommended guided tour! in the castle there are many wonderful frescoes and very interesting temporary exhibitions. Obligatory stop also the castle bar which offers a substantial aperitif at a moderate price and the church which is located a few steps from the castle

Visited several times, however, today 25 September 2022 for a stroke of luck we had an exceptional guide ... Truly prepared both on the history of the castle from its origins and on contemporary art ... You spend almost 2 hours without realizing it. The castle can be reached by car with convenient parking. Beautiful view of the apple orchards. The castle is also suitable for contemporary art exhibitions .. And also for events such as weddings ... Associations etc. The castle has been restored by the municipality ... It took almost 20 years ... But now a gem to visit absolutely.

Beautiful renovated manor, owned by the municipality of Campodenno managed by the Val di Non apt. Inside you can visit many rooms, the chapel and the stables. Inside, on weekends there is a bar run by the volunteers of the pro loco. The flaw is the complete lack of furniture, most of the floors and French windows and balustrades of the time. Inside there were 3 different art exhibitions. To contextualize more, I would include exhibitions of historical objects rather than contemporary art exhibitions.

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.
