About
Quick facts: The castle boasts one of the few circular designs in Europe, offering panoramic views of the entire city and the Mediterranean Sea. You can walk its thick walls and imagine the knights who once defended it while spotting medieval arrow slits.
Highlights: Its circular courtyard is truly unique, creating an uncommon open-air social space surrounded by centuries-old gothic arches. A secret underground cistern once stored water for sieges, reflecting medieval ingenuity in desert defense.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes for uneven stone walkways and stairs.
- Head to the western ramparts for the best panoramic photos of the city and sea.
- Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter visit, especially during peak tourist season.
- Check weather forecasts; the open terraces can be windy, so bring a light jacket.
