When the need for defense disappeared, the modernization of the architectural masterpiece began. In the first half of the 19th century, ruler Ferdinand I turned it into a royal residence.
In 2003, new life was breathed into the old palace. The building was completely renovated, a hotel and a museum were opened inside.
