Evening hike to the Fortress

As we approached the harbor, we could see the fortress sitting above the town - I think it was calling our names to climb the hill.  Our sunset hike was a great choice to visit this fortress that was almost 400 years (~1200-1600) in the making - slow and steady wins the race - this puppy isn't coming down anytime soon.  Very well kept, complete with church, medieval prison, and hosts of living quarters.
