Description

The castle had a separate enclosure of the walls surrounding the city. The dungeon has a room on the ground floor which is only connected to the first floor by a circular opening located at the top of the dome. The first floor had only a narrow entrance, without a stone staircase. A spiral staircase led to the second floor, which was also vaulted. Nothing remains of the platform.
