Harşena hill has been used as a fortress since 3000 BCE, repeatedly stormed then rebuilt - what you see now is mostly from the rebuild of 1075 AD. It's on two levels and riddled with cisterns and tunnels. Great views of the city.

Spiral Minaret Mosque
This mosque was built circa 1240. The minaret suffered a string of calamities and was rebuilt in 1730 with a distinctive spiral-fluted exterior, hence the name. Interred here are the architect and his son, but the mummified Prince Cumudar has been transferred to the museum.
