The city’s historic center is enclosed in a late-Renaissance star fort which is still visible and preserved. The fort has nine points plus a moat and three gates. The settlement, and the fort around it, was built by the Venetian Republic in 1593.
At the time it was the height of military defensive technology. Which was needed because being located on the eastern edge of Venetian territory, it was expected to be attacked by the Ottoman Empire.
