The base of the castle is with a trapezoidal shape. In the corners there are towers with a squared base: as of today, only three of them are still in place.
It is assumed that the age of the truncated tower placed at the north-east of the castle dates back to the 11th-13th century. A main upgrades was completed in the second half of the 15th century, when the Orsini family built circular towers and the wall with a trapezoidal base.
