An interesting visit. The climb is steep to access the ruins, but short, therefore rather accessible. The village is very pretty and the 360 ​​view from the keep is superb.

Simple to access, be careful it's a good climb and you preferably need suitable shoes. Magnificent view of the top of the keep. (free) parking also

Accessible in 10-15 minutes from Bramevaque. A little steep at first, stroller to avoid. Nice little castle, you can climb to the top, free, hardly see anyone in July.

Quiet, beautiful views and a 2.5km forest trail to Mauleon Barousse. We parked in Bramevaque village, explored the chateau and then walked to Mauleon Barousse for a cold beer.

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.
