Old Fortress

The oldest of three forts surrounding Corfu Town, this fort is set on a man-made peninsula and served as the residence for the military, politicians and aristocrats. The history of this fort dates back to the Byzantine period, although much of its ramifications were built by Venetian engineers between the 15^th and 18^th centuries. Today you can visit the fort for panoramic views of Corfu Town and Garitsa Bay.
