Heritage Spotted
What distinguishes this place
A Historical Maritime Power
The city became an important player in the Mediterranean from the 13th century. The preserved heritage combines churches, monasteries, palaces and fountains of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles.
Essential restorations
The 1667 earthquake and the damage to the conflict of the 1990s are part of its history. Restorations contribute to the conservation of the urban landscape that is now being discovered.

Preparation tips Azatour
Build a realistic visit
Take into account the relief
Check the steps between the accommodation, the old town gates and the selected tours. An address near the centre on a map may require effort with a suitcase. Ask for a description of the last route.
Compare visit formulas
If you are buying a pass, list the places you will actually visit and compare the separate conditions. A advantageous formula on paper can push to add visits that do not match the time available.
To be confirmed before booking
- Check stairs and access to the accommodation
- Forecast the routes exposed according to the weather
- Read the actual inclusions of the passes
Search the current manager from the links in the official folder. Confirm schedules, rates, access and possible closures; these evolutionary elements are not presented here as guarantees.
Useful issues
Does the UNESCO ranking make all visits free?
No. Heritage registration does not define the rates or conditions for access to monuments.
How to integrate this visit into the budget of the stay?
Add ticket, transfer, guide, meals and necessary expenses. Check what your formula already includes. Keep the same motto to compare the options and distinguish the cost of stay from that of this one visit.
