Afternoon visit

Small castle in the historic portion of Belmont. It is well maintained and some portions appear reconstructed. It is not very large but the story of the castle is interesting and can be read on site. It is well worth a short visit.

Took the little train up

It sits at the top of the hill so there are very nice views of the surrounding area. If you're in the area, it's worth a visit.

A Typical medieval castle

The castle location is the highest point in the region. Therefore, the view is great on sunset when we came. Easy to find, 3 minutes walking from the historical center of Belmonte.

Not much left from the castle

In a great location, as usual for castles, this one does not have much left from the original building. There's a huge amphitheatre in the middle which really breaks the mood of the place. They offer interesting exhibits.

Average medieval castle

Excellent location at highest point of Belmonte. Easy to find. Cheap entry fee. Nothing overly special about the place if you have seen castles elsewhere. The day we visited there was a colorful fair in the plaza near the castle entrance which added dramatically to...More

Nothing special

It is very small but it was clean and well treated. The exposition was kind of weak. It isn't possible to go to the best parts of the castle The price is only 2 euros

We walked up here while on our visit to Belmonte. We did not go in, but it is quite impressive from the outside. It gives the town its medieval feel. We wish we had more to time to enjoy it, but if you are walking...More
