This castle is beautiful, interesting, beautifully immersed in the green, the personnel who are always friendly with customers, here is the ghost The brothers cavalcabo 'with Carlo who was cremona and Eleonora viritelli. Highly recommended.
Domenico Dattola (6 years ago)
The castle is very beautiful but can be visited only from the outside because it is privately owned. There are many legends and beliefs handed down for centuries to this day and which have given everything an ancient manor in an aura of mystery.

Esternamente bello. Chiuso al pubblico.

Purtroppo è residenza privata, visto solo l'esterno, perfettamente conservato. Il piccolo borgo con la chiesa sono carini. Si dice sia il meno abitato della provincia di Lodi..

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.
