Tall walls that hold a lot of history በ RIch-ART In PIXELS
Inside the gate a slippery stepped tunnel ascends to the interior of the castle. Restoration work that had been ongoing has apparently been stopped as inappropriate, which is presumably to judge by one of the external round towers that has been given the favoured Toytown look of contemporary castle renovators.
What this means is that in the interim there is little information inside to help you identify the various rooms, and some parts remain off limits. Still, the castle had been closed to the public for many years so things are surely moving in the right direction.
