As an historian, i was delighted to feed my soul with interesting history about this unique town. There were lots of archaeological remains dating back to the ancient times. The uniqueness of this town is defined by the Romanesque Style of the buildings here.

The ancient military fortress stood proudly by itself. This place is known for its historical sites. The fortress was well maintained and the castles stood around well-mowed lawns and attractive flowers. I enjoyed my time here.
