The castle’s quarries

The blocks used to make the castle are of the same carbonate rock that surrounds it. The stonemasons’ marks can still be made out here, which has made it possible to locate the main quarries. You are in front of one of the five quarries located in the area close to the castle. Three are located around the castle and parallel to it. It seems that, given their position, they were intended to act as a moat once the castle was completed. The other two are located further away. The location of the quarries suggests they were not picked at random, but that they were intended to prevent access by an enemy that never appeared.
