Despite its tumultuous past, the site is full of beauty and serenity. Its magic really comes into its own at the moment the sun meets the stone. As the great gates are opened, the rising sun floods the courtyard before spilling into the gardens while the setting sun warmly embraces the majestic keep. A unique performance…
