That fortress was allowed to fall into ruin until it was restored and renovated in the 11 th century. The replacement also was abandoned. The current, 3rd version, complex of fortress and palaces was built between 1238 and 1527.

It was given the status of "National Monument", funds were provided, and restoration was begun again that lasts until this day.
