Seen from the outside it still retains all its charm, even if the structure is not complete. Inside he has completely lost his identity

Our castle contains within it the wonderful Gonzaga theater built in the second half of the nineteenth century and the ancient governor's palace, home of the ancient synagogue... come and visit us

The fortification of the area dates back to the early Middle Ages, while the presence of a castle is documented by written sources since the 14th century, even if its foundation is probably much older. Scenario of sieges and military operations in almost all the wars that involved this corner of Lombardy between the 15th and 18th centuries, the original quadrilateral fortifications were partially demolished after the unification of Italy, leaving the structure intact which still stands today. can observe.

A surprise, you have to have a bit of imagination to recreate it as it was, but Simone, the guide, was GREAT at taking us back in time. The adjacent theater is an enchanting wedding favor

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.
