     The access to the castle is ensured by a wooden bridge supported by stone pillars across the river Zlasti, which takes you to the gate tower of rectangular shape, where the opening to the inner yard is found. To the eastern side of the yard there is a 30 meters deep fountain, dug by the Turkish prisoners. The chapel is located on the oldest side of the fortress, dated back to Iancu's son times, Matei Corvin.

     The architectonic ensemble has suffered many adjustments and extensions along the time according to the requirements of the age. Most of the original furniture was lost, the few pieces that are now found being created only later. In the Capistrano tower (named after the name of a monk who lived in the castle during the 15 th century) a beautiful stone fireplace made in late gothic style was preserved.

     We could visit the NeBoisa tower built on four stories. A closed gangway is found on the last floor, which was used for defense by the soldiers.
