The Genoese probably built the first stone citadel, but after the town was twice attacked by Venice it was rebuilt in 1508 under Sultan Bayezit II. It was bombarded along with the rest of town during the 1770s war with Russia. The small museum within explains this history, and you can wander round the battlements.
