The outer wall has two circular towers with the entrance located between them. A narrow external staircase leads up to the tower where there is a large clock. In the XIX century it was turned to a cemetery and then successively restored. Nowadays it hosts cultural events. It can be reached by climbing the abrupt road which leads from the train station to the castle. It is also accessible from the courtyard of the Church of Saint John the Baptist of Riomaggiore. The castle is also locally known as Castellazzo of Cerrico.[:ET][map style="width: auto; height:200px; margin:20px 0px 20px 0px; border: 1px solid black;" download="yes" maptype="ROADMAP" pano="yes" gpx="http://www.tourism360.net/gpx/gps liguuria castello riomaggiore.gpx"] Mäe nõlval asuv kindlus liidab omavahel kaks väikest orgu Rio Maggire ja Rio Finale.
