Karmen








Karmen is one of the oldest parts of the walled city.  It is on the side closest to the sea, and has historically been known as the poorer section of the Old Town, though the term hardly applies now.

It is a labyrinthine, casbah-like place.  You can find in it the most obvious remnants of the early 1990s war: rubble and stray cats are still quite visible.  Thankfully, the Old Town's has been restored zealously over the years.
