The Old Fortress of Corfu is one of the island’s most important historical landmarks, standing
proudly at the edge of Corfu Old Town. Built by the Venetians, this stone fortress once protected the
city from naval invasions. Today, visitors can explore its massive walls, tunnels, and viewpoints
while enjoying sweeping views of the Old Town, the port, and the Ionian Sea.
