Platamon Castle
Platamon Castle is a Crusader-era hilltop fortress on the southeast slopes of Mount Olympus in Pieria, Greece, built in the early 13th century to control the Tempe valley approach. The complex is a polygonal enceinte with an isolated round donjon, multiple rectangular towers and a small church within the walls. Today the site is preserved and used for cultural events.

As it stood in 1222
The shape it held in its prime.
A polygonal stone fortress crowning a scrub-covered hill, built of light-coloured masonry with an irregular line of crenellated curtain walls and rectangular towers at intervals. A prominent round donjon (keep) rises within its own enclosed wall, topped by regular crenellations. The walls run down the slope to two smaller outlying towers near the hill’s base. Within the enclosure are low building foundations and a small, intact church; the overall silhouette reads as a compact, crenellated medieval stronghold.
