Datos rápidos: Perched high on a hill, this fortress offers panoramic views that stretch beyond the coast to the bustling city below. Originally serving as a military stronghold, its thick walls and strategic position reveal stories of past battles and defense tactics.
Destacados: One stand-out feature is the double circuit wall allowing defenders to retreat and regroup while still maintaining a stronghold. The castle's maze-like layout encourages exploration, revealing secret passages and cannonball scars along the ramparts.
