POINT OF INTEREST

Guardhouse

Building inside the counterguard composed of two half-buried rooms with a small annex for the officer. The guardhouse had different uses. The building at the back served as a provisional gunpowder magazine while the building closest to the Carriage Gateway had two floors and contained the guardhouse, the cells and the troops’ quarters.

Today it is used as an interpretation centre with an audio-visual display and an interactive scale model of the castle, serving as the starting point for visiting the fortress.
