Chlemoutsi
Chlemoutsi (Clermont) is a 13th-century Frankish hilltop castle in northwest Elis on a small plateau above the coastal plain. It centres on a large irregular hexagonal keep surrounded on the west by an outer curtain wall and outer ward; the fortress retains much of its original 13th-century fabric and is preserved as a monument today.

As it stood in 1230
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive irregular hexagonal stone keep of pale limestone, its six walls enclosing a long rectangular inner courtyard lined by continuous two‑storey halls; the west side is complemented by a polygonal outer curtain wall and a broad outer ward. Walls display narrow lancet windows and small slit embrasures, a low inner parapet along the top, and ashlar limestone masonry with scant evidence of brick. The castle stands on a rocky plateau reached by a gentler western slope and terraced stone approaches.
