The ancient ruined castle with newer walls dating from around 814 AD on the rocky promontory at the south side of town. A lone column is just about all that remains of the older structure but the views are spectacular. Almost mystical crimson and hazy views from the terrace at the entrance of the castle over the old city during the evening call to prayer are hard to beat and well worth the climb, even if the grounds of the castle are already closed.
