Timeline
14:09
Arrive at the ruins early. The site is free to visit, so you can wander the collapsed 18th-century structures and find a quiet spot to wait out the afternoon.
15:39
Check the lighting. As the sun begins its descent toward the WSW, the stone walls catch the warm glow. This is the moment to position yourself for the final descent of the sun.
16:09
Watch the sunset. The sun sets at 16:09, casting long shadows across the historic grounds. Stay for a few minutes as the light fades to blue.
16:54
Head back down. With the visit complete, leave the ruins while the path is still clearly visible in the twilight.
Local tip
