The bright primary colours somehow remind me of a child\u2019s poster paint box.  The audio-visual projections using actors are also great fun.  The Roman lighthouse tower beside the church looks weather-worn, but it\u2019s amazing that it\u2019s still standing.  There is plenty of interest in the cliff-side tunnels which are full of WWII exhibits.
