A charming 17th-century Venetian castle at the end of the promenade.
Under renovation for years. You can walk around it when the waves are light.
Update May 2025: The renovation is finally complete and has been a great success. The castle is now open to visitors again, free of charge. Very worthwhile.

The castle in Ierapetra was built in 1626. This Venetian era lasted from the 13th to the 17th centuries.
Today the fort is largely in ruins, and minor restorations are being made.
It is nice to walk around the fort, which is only recommended when the waves are low.
