Then, the visit takes us to the Captain\u2019s apartment which houses armor, helmets and weapons arranged chronologically from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing the visit, we come upon the Chapel of Santa Barbara, then outside along the walkways on the ramparts, equipped with circular mouths for the bombards, defense piombatoie and the characteristic swallowtail merlons.<br \/>\nThe route crosses the towers of the north-east and north-west and allows a complete view of the large Cortile d\u2019Armi and the Palazzetto called \u201cDel Paradiso\u201d, characterized by an elegant loggia, built inside the loggia as a noble\u2019s residence.<\/p>\n<p>The south-east tower houses a collection of mostly 16th century ceramics found during the restoration of the fortress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column-grid column-grid-2 item-details\">\n<div class=\"column column-span-2 column-narrow column-last\">\n<div
