Old Town is enclosed by medieval walls and was also a film location for Game Of Thrones. In 1667, the city was severely damaged by an earthquake, but they managed to preserve the churches, monasteries, palaces, and fountains. You can even get drinking water from the fountains. We visited a 13th century Franciscan Monastery, which has the most extensive library in the region.
