On the eastern edge of the Old Town is the best surviving bastion from the original city walls. You can take a group walking tour (English text is available) that includes the renovated fortifications and casemates, the underground foundations, displays of military gear and history; it finishes with sweeping views over the city from a viewing terrace atop the bastion. Buy tickets inside the bastion, which has various market stalls.
