The main access path climbs gently, but longer, through the deciduous forest. Whatever expectation the tourist has here, the meeting with the main entrance brings to mind cities from other parts of the world or maybe just stories with cities from which the hero’s fight with the dragons left behind only the stone foundations of them.
The visual opening is impressive as a structure and strategic defense plan, and the effective size of the fortress (over 6000 sq.) places it on the first position in size. The six watchtowers guard two enclosures, and the trapezoidal shape visible in such a beautiful aerial way makes the opening at the top of this hill wide, beyond the horizon of the forests that currently border it.
Research and some conservation works are recorded in the archaeological evidences, but not in detail on the characterization of the dimension limestone blocks used in masonry, nor is a mineralogical-petrographic study known to detail the stone varieties found, either in or near the exposed areas of the site.
