We experienced the most beautiful wine tasting at the castle. Not only the winery have breath taking views but also offer special tours with wonderful wine testings. However, we had shipped 5 bottles of wine with one gallon of olive oil at the winery a month ago, but we still haven’t receive yet..hopefully soon. Highly recommend to visit!

Very nice village, beautiful view. The suggestive castle has its charm, but a little too abandoned to itself, it would be enough to cut the weeds and the road to enter it, because you have to be a little Indiana Jones to find the entrance, too bad

Castle now in ruins. Very beautiful but unfortunately only some remains can make us imagine its beauty of other times. The village is very nice and well kept. Very open and suggestive panorama

Unfortunately abandoned to itself, and officially it is definitely closed, but it is a wonderful structure. A disaster to see it unused and destined to collapse.

Salendo per tutte le vie del borgo, che è molto bello, si arriva fino al Castello che un tempo era una fortificazione difensiva. Peccato che ormai sia in condizioni pessime. Siamo però riusciti a salire fino in cima, perché l'erba era tagliata. Bellissimo il panorama!

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.
