With the navigator you can reach the parking lot of the castle through an asphalted road which has the only drawback of being a little narrow.

However, while you park your car you are already immersed in a medieval atmosphere.

ITA

Col navigatore si raggiunge il parcheggio del castello attraverso una strada asfaltata che ha il solo difetto di essere un po' stretta.

Tuttavia, mentre si parcheggia l'auto ci si immerge già in un'atmosfera medievale.

With an uphill road you can walk to the outdoor bar and restaurant which have a rustic character suited to the medieval environment.

ITA

Con una strada in salita si raggiungono a piedi il bar e ristorante esterni che hanno un carattere rustico adatto all'ambiente medievale.

Through a wooden bridge with a roof you can access along the walls of the castle.

As soon as you cross the entrance threshold you can see on the sides of the room tools and instruments that were used to work leather, iron, fabrics etc...

Continuing on, you enter the internal courtyard with a high tower that stands out from the rest of the castle.

ITA

Proseguendo si accede al cortile interno con un'alta torre che svetta rispetto al resto del castello.

The wealthiest family lived in the tower and the best thing is that I was able to visit it.

ITA

Nella torre abitava la famiglia più benestante e la cosa più bella è che sono potuto entrare a visitarla.

The floors were all furnished and through a very steep wooden staircase which I believe was original, I slowly climbed to the roof.

ITA

I piani erano tutti arredati e attraverso una scala ripidissima in legno che credo fosse originale, sono salito piano piano verso il tetto.

It is the first time that I have visited a castle with rooms furnished with antiques. It seems to go back in time.

Once you get to the roof, the view is incredible and the feeling is almost like having climbed a mountain.

It is always satisfying to climb to the top of a tower.

ITA

Una volta arrivato sul tetto, la vista è incredibile e la sensazione è quasi come quella di aver scalato una montagna.

E' sempre soddisfacente salire in cima ad una torre.

Leaving that building, I entered to visit the adjoining church.

A contained environment with a single classroom, very simple but pleasant.

IMG_5185.jpg

I hope that despite being a bit long, you enjoyed the post.

I did not expect a castle so rich in artifacts and furnishings. It was a visit that involved me at 360 degrees for its completeness.

Worth a visit.

ITA

Spero che nonostante sia un po' lungo, il post vi sia piaciuto.

Non mi aspettavo un castello così ricco di reperti e arredi. E' stata una visita che mi ha coinvolto a 360 gradi per la sua completezza.

Italy looks just great when it comes to touristic destinations. It doesn't matter if you are an urban or outdoors lover, the options of what to visit there are literally endless, and I love that! Thanks for making me add one more place on my bucket list!

That's it. Italy has a cultural and naturalistic heritage that seems unlimited. Even if you visit non-touristy and not at all promoted places, in 99% of cases you will find something interesting.
