Om
Hurtige fakta: Denne fæstning står på en klippebase i 8 meters højde, og murenes tykkelse når op på hele 2 meter. Til byggeriet af fæstningen blev der brugt en unik blanding af hirse, vand og kalk, som sikrer en ekstraordinær styrke.
Højdepunkter: Går man en tur på 360-graders udsigtsstien på toppen, åbner hele Sur by og den bugtende kyst sig. Når vinden blæser gennem de gamle skydeskår, høres en svag summen, som om fæstningen taler. Her var der engang en hemmelig flugttunnel, der førte direkte til en vandkilde.
Insidertips
- You will get the best photo of the fortress from the southwestern side when the sun sets behind the walls.
- Wear comfortable shoes, as the stairs are narrow and steep, especially when climbing to the very top.
- There is no air conditioning inside, so it is best to avoid visiting at midday in summer.
- On the way up, stop by the ancient cannons and imagine what life looked like here 300 years ago.
