In the three days we spend here we get all kinds of weather from blazing sun to overcast to cheery cumulus clouds playing in the breeze to mist to stormy rain and the crags and peaks look changed every time I raise my eyes at them. We take a bus to the site next day and enter through the lower gate. The ticket office sits in a massive gatehouse and from there the atmosphere of the place starts to work its magic: it’s a true city, of which parts were inhabited up to the 1950’s (last few families left when excavations resumed on the site) but whose core fabric is clearly medieval.
