As it stood in 1522
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a wooded rocky hill, the fortress presents a stepped series of grey stone curtain walls and angular bastions rising to a dominant white cylindrical keep with regularly spaced rectangular embrasures and a steep conical brown roof. A long multi-storey rectangular residential range with rows of rectangular windows runs along the crest beside the keep. Walls are of local grey masonry, terraces and parapets descend the slope toward the town and Alpine ridges rise beyond.
