Tourism
Perhaps the most characteristic of the city is its main gate, which is closely linked to history and commerce since its inception. It is divided into two areas, one for large and one for smaller vessels. In its streets we find several terraces, shops and restaurants.
The Church of St. Francis of Paula. We are probably in the most prominent religious building in the city, a very simple 18th century temple form.
The clock tower. This is an old watchtower that was built between 1772 and 1775. In French it is known by the post of Carrée de l'Horloge, and is located on the same door.
