On this walk we will explore the Castle District and the castle complex itself, an ancient seat of power still in use today. In the past, the richer the family, the closer they wanted to live to the royal court. And that’s why this part of the city developed into a charming quarter where we find many fine aristocratic palaces and splendid baroque gardens.
