About the artwork
After some hard and risky work trying to get in I was very happy to be able to see the inside of this magical place.
This beautiful castle got its current appearance thanks to the work of one man who renovated and expanded the pre-existing building during the 19th century.
The history of the place however is significantly older: it is possible to trace it back to the Roman period, as well as to the subsequent centuries. It is reported that in 780 Charlemagne could have passed by the place on his way back from Rome, where he went to have his son baptized by the Pope.
The owner of the castle wasn't only the owner, he was also a builder at the same time; although he had no university degree, he had the abilities of an engineer, an architect and a geologist. This allowed him to design, plan and finance the castle by using local products and employing mostly native manpower.
In the 70's from the 20th century the castle was transformed into a hotel, only to close its doors already in the 90's. Till then no actions have been realized to start using this place again and the castle remained unused until today.
The castle is built in different styles; for example Moorish and Indian. It has 365 rooms and every room is different from another.
It's an extraordinary place.
