1. First impression
It is great. It dominates the landscape, and down at its base you feel small, and the road to the top you think is for those well trained in mountain hiking. But, on one side, where the parking lot and the ticket office are, there is an elevator similar to the one that goes up to the Devei Citadel, on a dizzying line in 2 angles, with an inflection point. Also here at the ticket office, we find out that you can go up on foot without any problems, and I even recommend this option because it has its charm because it goes through 14 gates. There is also the possibility to go up with the elevator or go down on foot, but I assure you that you must not miss the gates and that the effort is much less than you imagine and the access is easy for anyone, even with breaks. I decided to go up and down per pedes and I congratulate myself for the choice I made. The charm of visiting this castle is to cross its 14 gates and then at the top, in the castle itself, to visit the museum. Come with me!
Each gate has a name and most have a year. I will play them as I went through them.
