The Palace has undergone several restorations through the centuries and therefore nowadays offers to visitors various architectural styles: 14th Century painted vaults, 16th Century baroque frescoes and the 17th Century Lion Fountain. One of the highlights is the weaponry collection in the Knight`s Hall. Count Federico`s family can be traced back to the period of the Emperor Friedrich II and has lived in this palace for centuries; therefore the guests can breathe the original atmosphere of the Palace which makes the visit a unique experience.
