We’ll admire the massive bastions walking along the waterfront promenade and have a fantastic view of the Porta Vecchia and the 16th century city walls.

Walking along some typical alleys in the historical centre, we'll finally arrive to Vittorio Emanuele square, which is the heart of the modern city.
