The Old Fortress in Corfu, Greece, is a historic Venetian fortress situated on a rocky promontory that juts into the Ionian Sea. Built in the 15th century by the Venetians, it served as a formidable defense against Ottoman invasions. The fortress is renowned for its impressive architecture, including walls, bastions, and a moat. Within its grounds, visitors can explore the Church of St. George, which resembles an ancient Doric temple, and enjoy panoramic views of Corfu Town and the surrounding sea.
