Es bonito, pero es privado y está descuidadísimo. El entorno es especial y la bajada es bonita con el campo y la roca con la casita, pero.. da mucha pena cómo está mantenido, se le podría sacar mucho partido y que fuera un espacio disfrutable. Una pena. Habíamos leído que era un espacio de águilas y tampoco lo vemos un entorno para eso, pero no somos expertos, así que no sabemos ajjaja. Por cierto, nos han sorprendido mucho estas piezas numeradas que había por todos lados, no sabemos su uso y no conseguimos averiguarlo. Os dejo una foto, si alguien sabe qué son y para qué sirven, informádnos! Saludos!

Magnífico lugar. Muy emblemático. Desde el castillo se divisa toda la meseta. Las vistas son espectaculares. Tiene muchos viñedos alrededor. Es un lugar singular. Se puede alquilar para eventos y para pernoctar. Es una experiencia única. Recomendable visitarlo.

Not much to see. Castle is a private residence.

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.
