O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Stolp, ki se dviga nad vrati, je bil uporabljen ne le za obrambo, ampak tudi kot vetrni mlin za mletje žita. Trdnjavsko obzidje je le nekaj metrov oddaljeno od vode, ob oseki pa lahko okoli nje vidite rake, ki se grejejo na skalah.
Poudarki: Na notranjem dvorišču trdnjave še vedno stojijo originalne glinene topovske krogle, zložene v kupe že v 18. stoletju. Nikoli niso bile uporabljene. Obrambna strategija ni temeljila na ognjeni moči, temveč na postavitvi obzidja tako, da bi sovražnik obtičal v ozkih prehodih.
Notranji nasveti
- Before climbing up, stop by the small room under the stairs, where authentic weapons and ceramics are displayed.
- You will get the best photo not from the fortress, but from the wooden bridge over the wadi leading to the entrance.
- There is no air conditioning inside, so during the summer months choose morning hours or bring water with you.
- Near the fortress there is a traditional boat workshop, worth a look before or after your visit.
