Remarkable fortifications in the city of Corfu Chora.

This "old fort" was considered ideal for building a fortified town. Easy to defend and overlooking the sea, it can be used as a checkpoint to observe the comings and goings on the coast. On the north side of the acropolis, you will see a small artificial harbour. The first fortifications were built by the Byzantines at the beginning of the 8th century. At XVIe siècle, threatened by the Ottomans, the Corfiotes erected additional towers, the west gate, a second moat and a third defensive line around the two peaks.

De la vieille forteresse on a une très belle vue sur la mer autour de Corfou-ville et sur la vieille ville.
Un joli petit musée byzantin à l' intérieur, à ne pas oublier au passage, où l' on peut voir notamment des fresques, et une mosaïque.
Au sommet, un petit coin d'ombre paisible au dessus de la mer
Y aller avec de bonnes chaussures de marche
