The Castle of the Knights of St. John.

The castle built by the Knights of St. John in the 14^th century, stands impressively on the right side of the harbour.
It was mainly built for defensive purposes.

The keep was probably built the following century and separated from the town by a moat which was later filled in and is now today's Palm Trees avenue.

The castle also contains ancient relics.
