Schnelle Fakten: A massive cylindrical keep punctuates the city wall, its walls over two meters thick and pierced by narrow arrow slits that still evoke medieval siegecraft. Climb the tight spiral stair to the rooftop battlements for a dizzying panorama, where weathered limestone underfoot and the cry of gulls make the past feel surprisingly immediate.
Highlights: Climbing the rounded stone ramp to the top feels like entering a chest of secrets: sunlight slices through narrow loopholes, the air smells of salt and warm limestone, and the city’s terracotta roofs unfurl below like a miniature theater. Local legend says a lone night watchman once hid a tiny silver charm in a mortar joint to bring luck during storms, and centuries later you can still spot the scuffed spot where visitors touch the wall for luck.
Insidertipps
- Wear sturdy shoes, the staircases are steep and uneven.
- Arrive before the cruise ships dock or late afternoon for far fewer people on the ramparts.
- Head to the top of Minceta for 360-degree photos, aim north for city views and south for the open sea.
- Combine the tower climb with the full city-wall walk to get the best context and avoid backtracking.
