Album Info:
1528, The emperor Charles V gave the property to Captain Pietro Gonzales de Mendoza, for victories accomplished in Calabria against French army. By marrying the only daughter of Fernando de Alarcon, one of the most famous Spanish generals during the wars in Italy, captain Mendoza was connected to a powerful noble house. The reconstruction of the castle and the consolidation of surrounding walls were his merit.
