A fortress within fortress, this was the seat of 19 Grand Masters. Built in the 14th century and was blown up by an accidental explosion in 1856. It was then restored by the Italians in the 1930s as a holiday home for Mussolini and King Victor Emmanuel III.

You can walk on the city walls (4 km long) but unfortunately, it was closed by the time we found the entrance of the walk.
The coat of arms is that of Grand Master del Villeneuve, who ruled from 1319 to 1346.
