The castle was built around 1373, during the Byzantine period, on the site of the acropolis of the ancient city, after the island of Lesvos was granted to Francesco I Gattilusio by John V Palaiologos. A few remains of the Byzantine structure are preserved in the north-west part. In addition to the extensive reconstruction by the Genoese, significant repairs and modifications were undertaken during the period of Ottoman rule (1462-1912), to which almost all the buildings preserved inside the castle belong.
