Why St Nicholas Fortress matters
Where the narrow channel meets the sea, a triangular fortress guards the passage from a small island. You arrive by boat and walk through its stone halls and terraces. It was part of the Venetian defence network on the Adriatic. Away from the city bustle, it is a quiet and dramatic place.
