Culture and sights

On top of the mountain rise the ruins of the castle, below which an important market town had developed on the mountainside, which is now ruinous. She owned a church and a cemetery. The whole thing was protected by a mighty, well-preserved city wall. The village was gradually abandoned in the early 19th century.
