I came to the coast to visit the old fort but instead saw this amazing scenery of the sky and the water that morning
|
| Not only was the boat like floating in the sky, but the sky and the sea were like perfect reflection of themselves
|
| Was really disappointed down south when the salt lake was dried up. Now I thought this really compensated everything!

This old fort is known as Borj Ghazi Mustapha
|
| It was the scene of a massacre in 1560 when a Turkish fleet captured the fort and put the 6000 Spanish garrison to the sword and stacked up their skulls on the shoreline
|
| Guess what? The people inside told me it was not opened. Was I too early or was it closed for the day I did not know....
|
| Nice scenery around the fort though...

It seems the fisherman was more hardworking than the people inside...
|
| Next to the fort there's a large modern amphitheatre
|
| Besides musical performances, it also hosts light and sound shows to the tourists during peak seasons.
|
| I walked along the coast till I reached the marina and the fishing port, which is at the north of the town
