O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Strukturo iz korale in apnenega malta so leta 1593 zgradili Portugalci, preden so jo devetkrat zavzeli Omanci in Britanci. UNESCO jo je leta 2011 uvrstil na seznam svetovne dediščine, obris njenega obzidja v obliki človeka pa še vedno skriva topove iz 18. stoletja.
Poudarki: Podzemni predor, vrezan v korale, je nekoč povezoval trdnjavo s plažo kot diskreten prehod za oskrbovanje ali umik posadke. Ob zahodnem obzidju je še vedno mogoče opaziti odtise topovskih krogel, ki jih je pustilo otomansko obleganje leta 1696.
Notranji nasveti
- Wear closed-toe shoes, as the coral stairs become very slippery in the rain.
- Climb up to the northern bastion to frame the harbor entrance at sunset.
- Avoid weekend afternoons, when school groups fill the central courtyard.
- Ask to see the latrines and the guard room upstairs, easily missed by visitors in a hurry.
