Very beautiful, but it clearly needs restoration for its proper conservation. I have not seen it inside, you have to call in advance because of what the townspeople have told me

On the outside and comparing it with what there is in the surroundings it is very good, on the inside I can't speak, because it says that you can only visit on Wednesdays, as long as they answer you, because I wrote to them a couple of times and they didn't bother to reply ??‍♂️.

You can only visit on Wednesdays, curious to see if you go in passing, a little careless.

Surprise to find such a cool castle in such a small town. A pity that it is private and cannot be visited.

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.
