Those who like to take a dip in the past, and love to walk, among ancient towers, walkways between the battlements of the walls, visiting perfectly maintained and explained museums, and pictorial or photographic exhibitions, with a single ticket at a great price you can see 3 real jewels of history that surely satisfy the visitor! Very satisfied!
