케팔로니아의 역사 유적지

Historic Ruins and Castles

Cephalonia’s history spans from the Mycenaean era to Venetian rule, evidenced by the island's diverse archaeological sites. This collection includes the expansive 16th-century Assos Fortress and the Mycenaean Cemetery of Mazarakata, the largest of its kind in the Ionian Islands. Highlights include 3rd-century Roman mosaics in Skala, the massive Cyclopean walls of the ancient Krani citadel at Paliokastro, and the ruins of Old Skala, a village abandoned after the 1953 earthquake. Scattered Venetian watchtowers and Byzantine basilicas further illustrate the island's strategic maritime past.
