A truly impressive complex. Very well preserved and restored. You can visit the castle for a small fee. It is definitely worth it. Just for the view from the top floor

In this church, 3 drops of the blood of Jesus are kept as a relic. The church is built in an interesting way. With an octagon at the entrance
