This imposing building has been restored and has brought the old quarter of Ibri back to life. There is not too much to see inside, but the views from the battlements are grand. Follow the brown signs through old Ibri (a crumbling neighbourhood of abandoned dwellings) from the main road. It's sporadically open on Saturdays, too.
