Through the Castle/Carlo V

Discovering the secrets of the castle, from prisons to patrol walkways, from the chapel of Santa Barbara to the papier-mâché museum and underground galleries. The opportunity is offered by 34° Fuso and The Monuments People who lead on a tour through the Charles V Castle along which the stories, legends and different "souls" that the great manor has enclosed for centuries unfold. The building, which housed Maria d’Enghien and Giovanni Antonio Orsini del Balzo, was surrounded on all four sides by a deep moat. The current appearance is due to the interventions commissioned by Charles V in the first half of the sixteenth century, conducted by the architect Gian Giacomo d’Acaya. A walk through history, therefore, which among other things reveals the functions that Charles V had over time: from a military fortress to a refuge for the community, passing through the period in which it was a prison as the signs and fascinating engravings on the walls tell.
