The royal castle is a maginificent example of baroque style - it was built in the XIVth century.

Barbican is the oldest part of the city’s fortifications. It was built in 1548 by the Venetian Giovanni Battista. It used to be an important element of defensive city walls.

Barbican is today the site of summer art gallery where artists sell their works.
