Ive been there, and you can see how its a perfect defensive position. Surrounded by the sea on 3 sides with steep high cliffs. The only other way to reach it is a path, which takes you down into a deep valley, and then up to a small gateway. The top of this enclosed promontory, is flat and and could encompass several large buildings. Including a bakery, It had a well of fresh water, stables and other building apart from the castle itself. A perfect fortress built to survive long sieges. Which it did. Its an amazing place.
