A fortress was built in the 11th century (that's about 1,000 years ago, if you are counting) to help defend the area. The place served its purpose; it was frequently attacked durign the next 600 years. The fort was finally destroyed in 1632, but its remains, um, remain. They mix in nicely with the rocky area.
You can pay a fee to look around the grounds and see the views. However, the vistas are similar a few feet away on the mountaintop if that's what you came to photograph and see.
