Castle in ruined condition. Part of the wall sections and some of the towers are still standing, but they look abandoned.

In a state of ruin, only canvases and two doors with towers remain, one of which has been restored with cement. It is advisable to leave the car downstairs and walk up, the Google route sometimes indicates that you can go around it, and it is not true, if there is more than one car it is difficult to get down. The views are very good from there.

The most touristy thing in town was the plane that has been in Cuatro Vientos for ten years for restoration. It is important to note the story in which a countryman from Coruña of the count made a prototype to fly. Castle in ruins but the Church is worth a visit for which you have to call a neighbor of the town who explains it.

You can visit the remains of the castle for free, they have tried to restore it so that it does not fall completely, from the castle you have a view of the entire town, around the castle there are some underground cellars that are private but it is impressive to see them since some are very large due to inside. ps: the thief of the phallic stone to return it.

Clickimin Broch

The Broch of Clickimin is a large and well preserved, though somewhat restored broch near Lerwick. Originally built on an island in Clickimin Loch (now increased in size by silting and drainage), it was approached by a stone causeway. The water-level in the loch was reduced in 1874, leaving the broch high and dry. The broch is situated within a walled enclosure and, unusually for brochs, features a large 'blockhouse' between the opening in the enclosure and the broch itself. Another unusual feature is a stone slab featuring sculptured footprints, located in the causeway which approached the site. Situated across the loch is the Clickimin Leisure Centre.
