What to see

Stretches of wall and towers of many periods run along the harbour and across the neck of the peninsula; the historical prison stands inside the inner citadel.

An hour walking along the harbour and the walls; combine with the prison and the museum.

Some towers can be climbed by stairs without railings — take care.
