The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on an overhanging rocky crag, the castle presents a long curtain wall punctuated by several rounded cylindrical towers and a taller square crenellated keep/watchtower at the highest point. The entrance is reached by a steep external stair from the plain and shows the remains of a drawbridge with a nearby rectangular Tower of Sentinel. A central courtyard gives access to a prison tower, an Angevin tower and a small chapel with a visible gutter feeding a rainwater tank; the upper watchtower mixes stone masonry and brick and has openings on all four sides.
