Santa Catalina, the city's oldest fortress, was built in the 17th century in a star shape at La Caleta beach's north end. At the other end is the 18th-century San Sebastián, a Bond film backdrop.
The Roman Theatre, built around 70BC, is well worth a visit and easily reached on foot. The theatre is thought to have welcomed 10,000 spectators in its heyday, and guided tours are available.
Climb the 45m tall watchtower to its rooftop terrace for panoramic views. Built in the 1700s when trade was booming, it was used to monitor ships entering the harbour.
