This architectural marvel of the Middle Aages is a testament to the rich history and defensive prowess of the Genoese people. Constructed in the 13th century, the fortress served as a vital trading post and stronghold for the Genoese merchants.

The exterior of the fortress is adorned with intricate masonry, featuring towering towers, thick walls, and merlons that offer a glimpse into the defensive capabilities of the time.
