A moat surrounded the castle, as evidenced by written records, but is not currently visible. Access to the castle was across the northwest side, now Santo Domingo Street, via a ramp.Each tower measures 9 by 9 metres (30 ft × 30 ft) and contains two chambers with a covered brick dome. The four towers were topped by battlements. A cellar dating to the 18th century, measures 22 by 10.5 metres (72 ft × 34 ft) and serves as the headquarters of the Tourist Office.
