The town was built around the castle as a maze to fend off pirates. There are tiny doors and windows as you walk around the castle and some ruins to show how they protected their belongings and is fascinating to walk around.

It’s fun to walk through the ancient streets and discover the shops, art gallery and cafes. There’s is a lot of restoration happening at the moment which is nice to see. One worker let us peak our heads inside a door and see the gigantic beautiful room they were restoring. You can get a feel for what it was like back then and pretty amazing to imagine how they lived. The museum is nice and can see the old boarding school that it later became with some photos and brief history. Lunch on the roof top cafe was fabulous- food and service !
