As it stood in 1600
The shape it held in its prime.
The fortress crowns the entire 170 m rocky Assos peninsula, its light-beige stone curtain wall running along the ridge for roughly 2,000 m and enclosing about 44,000 m². The ramparts form broad, angular bastions and a flat-topped citadel at the summit; an arched principal gate bears the carved Venetian Lion of Saint Mark. From the outer faces the walls descend to steep coastal cliffs and inside the enclosure a compact group of stone houses, a small chapel and administrative buildings fill the courtyard.
