A unique fortress both because of its hilltop location with views toward the sea and because of the borgo—a sort of medieval village at its foot.

The fortress’s story begins as a defensive stronghold and prison tower, passes through a tragic love story, and continues into the 20th century as a private property owned by the widow of an Italian entrepreneur.

The path to the fortress winds through medieval alleys that have been transformed into food and souvenir stalls. Traditional festivals take place in the village throughout the year, creating a sense of stepping back in time.
