Kassiopi Castle
Kassiopi Castle is a medieval Byzantine-origin fortress on the northeastern coast of Corfu overlooking the village of Kassiopi and the Corfu Channel. It formed part of a defensive triangle with Gardiki and Angelokastro and retains long stretches of curtain wall, many towers and a surviving main gate though the interior has been long abandoned. The structure today survives as a ruin with many walls and gate towers extant.

As it stood in 1300
The shape it held in its prime.
A quadrilateral stone fortress of pale limestone ashlar with a steep cobbled approach leading to a recessed main gate set beneath concentric semi-circular brick-and-stone archivolts; the gate is flanked by two robust gate-towers of heavy masonry. Curtain walls run roughly southwest–northeast with alternating rectangular and cylindrical towers at intervals; wall tops originally had battlements (their exact shape uncertain). The interior courtyard is largely empty and, historically, filled with olive trees; many walls are vertical and near-vertical.
