More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off an air-conditioned coach onto a cobbled parade ground framed by low brick ramparts and the cold geometry of 18th‑century fortifications. The wind moves across the dry grass where soldiers once marched; now the quiet is held by plaques, barracks and rooms that recall the tighter, bleaker chapters of the 20th century. A guide leads the group through corridors once repurposed for an imposed “residence,” explaining small details that make the site human and historical.
