About
Quick facts: The castle has preserved Gothic walls up to 3 meters thick. In the past, it served as a defensive fortress against sea raids.
Highlights: Underground passages lead to the old port and offer a view of ancient military technology. During summer evenings, historical reenactments are held with period clothing and the sounds of nearby artillery fire.
Insider tips

- The best photo spots are at the entrance where the slanting light highlights the thick stone walls.
- Avoid weekends when the castle is most crowded.
- Book tickets in advance for evening performances as capacity is limited.
