The Castle of Charles V, with a polygonal plan, was built in 1552, incorporating a previous Norman tower. Its current appearance dates back to 1660.
It stands on the sea, overlooking the port, among the ancient Aragonese fortifications.
The main entrance is on the south-west side in correspondence with a cylindrical tower subsequent to the original structure.
To check the opening days and times, consult their website.
