About
快速信息: Perched on a jagged rock by the sea, the fortress delivers jaw-dropping views and a visceral thrill as you stand where cannon fire once echoed. Visitors linger over the massive, angled walls and flock to evening stage performances that fill the surprisingly roomy interior with music and light.
亮点: Perched on a sheer 37-meter-high rock beyond the city wall, the fortress greets you with an iron-studded wooden gate topped by the Latin phrase 'Non bene pro toto libertas venditur auro', a blunt reminder that freedom was never for sale. Every summer the inner courtyard turns into a candlelit theatre for the city's Summer Festival where Shakespeare is staged under stars, and if you press your ear to the outer wall you can feel the sea's deep, rhythmic roar coming up from the cliffs below.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes, the access uses uneven stone steps and narrow ramps.
- Arrive early (first hour) or late afternoon to avoid cruise-ship crowds and large guided groups.
- Head to the southwestern parapet for the best framed shots of the city walls and the Adriatic at golden hour.
- Carry water and sun protection, shade is limited and coastal wind can be strong.
