Contemplate the ruins of the castle probably built around the eleventh century and rebuilt current fourteenth century after it was destroyed by fire. The Middle Ages was the period that marked the life of the castle, with an extremely bloody battle in 1449. Today, the castle is being restored and secure and can not be visited.
