Right, from a lower level can be seen one of the towers protecting the wall and access to higher levels of the castle. Though reconstructed, the pattern appears to be based on the original.
Below, this pile of stone mouldings is a puzzle. Are they authentic pieces awaiting placement in a section soon to be rebuilt, or are they recently crafted pieces to take place of the authentic items missing? On the basis of the damage to them, I suspect it is the former.
Left, you can see the wrought iron railing used to protect visitors who move along the passages of the castle. This section is along the outer wall below the same tower seen above.
Some views of the barrel vaulted rooms in the above ground section of the castle. In the one above can be seen some of the authentic pieces found at the site. Unfortunately, poor lighting made good photos difficult.
To the right, a reconstructed stairway. The concrete spiral stairs are clearly recent, but still built in the authentic style.
Below, passages through the castle. At the far end can be seen the the hodge-podge way in which some of the walls were built.
Left, another view of the inner vaults at ground level. The damp conditions cause various types of mold to form on the walls.
A view along the outer bastions on the west side. To the right center is the entrance to the inner ward.
