"A charming observation deck that overlooks the old town. Originally part of the towns defensive system it now offers panoramic views. You'll need 1 Euro to get through the turnstile. You may need to pull turnstile back towards you & then forward before it actually turns. Also, you'll need to walk through a hotel parking lot to access the stairs. Be sure to bring you're camera, you will need it."
