The ramparts are actually two attractions. The ramparts themselves, and the views over the cliffs and the ocean. Big well-kept canons point at the sea. Local youths hang around the area during lunch breaks. Tour groups walk through the area in as short time as possible. Don't forget to look back — at the narrow streets running parallel to the ramparts themselves.



The cliffs around the ramparts and the Skala further north indicate that the location for the town was chosen in days when protection was a matter of survival.
