Firstly no tickets are needed and it is free entry with a decent amount of parking at the front (you just have to sign in). This is a very historic + cultural place with a lot of significance however the good thing is, that it isn't very big - took around 40-45 minutes to walk around and see everything.
The structure has been well maintained and it is very easy to get around and see many views of the city from the top. You can also enter many of the rooms.
Overall this was an enjoyable, relaxe
