Old Fortress of Corfu • 2661 048120 • https://g.co/kgs/hd6fCEv • • The Old Fortress was built by the Venetians on a promontory at the edge of Corfu Town and is one of the most important Castles of Corfu. They then separated it from the town with a moat (Contrafossa) which converted the citadel into an artificial island. The fortress was strong enough to repulse sieges from the Ottomans in 1537, 1571 and 1716. Conveniently located next to Corfu’s main square and the esplanade, this is a sight not to be missed when visiting the island. The fortress contains various buildings – the small church of St. George, the British Barracks and a military hospital. There is also a library with historical archives collected over more than 6 centuries plus the Corfu Byzantine Collection with icons, sculptures and paintings from the Byzantine period. Visitors can relax in the café and restaurant, enjoying the stunning sea views, and the fortress is also a popular venue for large cultural events.
