Beautiful musical evening in a magnificent setting! It swings! An excellent Italian clarinetist capable of rising very high in the treble without tearing out the ears, 2 marvelous guitarists, 1 original Italian accordionist and a tireless bass cellist ..... an unforgettable atmosphere!

Beautiful exterior but modernized interior housing some works of art. Not for lovers of old stones. I salute all the same the municipality for the effort of rehabilitation in cultural place.

We were not able to visit the castle because it was closed on Mondays, but on the other hand we discussed with the secretary of the town hall who explained to us what there was to visit: it is to be seen. Very well received at the town hall which is right next to the castle

Very nice renovation. Congratulations to the "Friends of the castle". ?? It is a magnificent setting for the exhibitions presented there. Too bad it's a bit remote, but it's worth the trip.

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.
