Angelokastro
Angelokastro is a Byzantine hilltop castle on the northwest coast of Corfu, built on a steep rocky promontory overlooking the sea and the City of Corfu. It served as a fortified acropolis and administrative center through Byzantine, Angevin and Venetian rule, and played a key defensive role during Ottoman sieges. The site today is preserved as prominent architectural remains on a coastal ridge.

As it stood in 1537
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched atop Corfu's highest shoreline peak on precipitous rocky terrain and a cliff 305 m above the sea, the fortress occupies a narrow ridge and acropolis; its stone curtain walls run along the ridge line enclosing courtyards and roofed stone buildings. From the walls one surveys the sea to the northwest and Corfu town and mainland mountains to the southeast. At its prime the walls and internal buildings were intact and occupied.
