Una visita histórica increíble con muchísimas colecciones de arte. Bellísimo il Castelo. Recomiendo entrar con la audio guía, cada sala tiene un número donde te explica todo. Hay lugar para dejar las mochilas en el subsuelo, box con una moneda de 1 euro, sino te dan una ficha verde. También hay un sector de recuerdos para comprar muy lindos.
