Castelli in Epiro
Historic Fortifications
Epirus preserves a diverse array of fortifications reflecting its Byzantine and Ottoman history. The Castle of Ioannina features two distinct citadels—Its Kale and Aslan Pasha—overlooking Lake Pamvotis. Along the coast, the Venetian Castle of Parga and Ali Pasha’s stronghold at Anthoussa highlight strategic maritime defenses. Inland, the high-altitude Castle of Kiafa in Souli and the late Ottoman Fort of Laskara near Preveza represent the region's long-standing military significance and architectural evolution.
Venetian castle
Originally built in the 11th century to protect against pirate raids, the current structure was significantly fortified by the Venetians in the 16th century and later by Ali Pasha. It overlooks the town and the Ionian Sea.
