In the VI century, the city of Corfu (Paleopoli), which was located on the Kanoni peninsula, was destroyed and the survivors decided to use the ruins to build a new city that was more defendable. Then they created a fortification, i.e. the Old Fortification, which is located in the eastern end of the city of Corfu. The access to the Old Fortification is in front of Liston, near the Esplanada of Corfu; you will immediately notice the large bastions that represent a masterpiece of military architecture of the past. To reach them you should cross the bridge that connects the city to the island of the Fortification; they are separated by the moat that was created for defense and is today used for fishing boats. You will immediately understand that it represents the ideal place to build a small fortified city; near the sea, this ancient fortification was able to defend the city very well and also control the situation of the nearby coasts The fortification was first started by the Byzantines and then modified by the Venetians in the 16th century to defend against the incursions of the Turkish populations. For this reason, the Venetians decided to strengthen the bastions and enlarge the moat to prevent foreign incursions. The statue in memory of General Schulenburg (built by the Venetians in memory of the defense against the Turks) is located in front of the entrance to the bridge of the first moat, which together with the second leads to the inner courtyard of the fortification.

also nice

I highly recommend visiting the fortress. There is also a beautiful viewpoint here with a view over Corfu.

Even though only the park can be visited at the moment, it is still worth seeing everything.

A popular fishing village with restaurants and shops on Corfu’s stunning northeast coast. Well worth dropping off the main road for an explore.

Some great views from the village at the top of a series of hairpin bends.
