Abstract

Accessibility to a fortified structure is quite intriguing when considering that to some extent it is necessary to study an “attack strategy” to find “weak” points of a complex designed to be impregnable and therefore inaccessible from the outside. The challenge of the accessibility of a castle often becomes thus its reachability, which today must be guaranteed to everyone for a correct declination of the concept of enhancement.

The accessibility of an ancient place refers to the possibility
of having individual and collective, tangible and intangible "memory", which allows to pursue sustainable development according to what has been underlined by recent international documents.

The high altitudes to be climbed, the tortuous paths which are often present, the spaces distributed in multiple buildings all pose no easy questions. There are scanty, consistent design answers available. However, perhaps the main issue remains, as is the case for many other cultural assets - the intended use and management themes related to accessibility to fortified structures.

These considerations will be treated with particular reference to Colle Cidneo and its Castle in the historic centre of Brescia.
