This striking defence tower, in the maze of streets set back from the harbour, was built by the Venetians in 1455 to defend the town from pirates. It now contains a branch of the Lo拧inj Museum (the other being in Mali Lo拧inj), dedicated to the island鈥檚 maritime history. Browse the Roman ceramic fragments, sabres and old postcards before climbing up to the battlements for unrivalled views of the old town.
