Built in the 5th century by a tyrant king fleeing exile, the fortress, now rated as the eighth wonder of the world, is an astounding architectural marvel. The stiff climb to the top is one of the Island’s most memorable experiences taking you from the moat, ramparts and water gardens that ring the base up narrow steps with 5th century paintings of heavenly maidens on the rock face. The remains of a pair of giant stone lion’s paws still guard the staircase leading to the summit which was once occupied by a royal palace.
