The original nucleus of the ancient fortress was built at the beginning of the 11th century, adapting to the conformation of the plateau. The irregular plan of the enclosure delimits a vast area with numerous ruins, of which a tower serving as a keep, a building leaning against the surrounding walls and a central palace are visible.
