O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Virš vartų izdiže se kula koristila ne samo za odbranu, već i kao vetrenjača za mlevenje žita. Zidovi tvrđave nalaze se svega nekoliko metara od vode, a za vreme oseke oko nje se mogu videti rakovi kako se sunčaju na stenama.
Istaknuto: U unutrašnjem dvorištu tvrđave i dalje stoje originalne glinene topovske kugle naslagane u gomile još u 18. veku. One nikada nisu korišćene jer se odbrambena strategija oslanjala ne na vatrenu moć, već na raspored zidova tako da neprijatelj ostane zarobljen u uskim prolazima.
Insajderski saveti
- 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.
