Corfu - The Old Fortress at Sunrise

The Old Fortress - Kerkyra - Corfu, Greece.

 

The old city of Corfu grew up within fortifications, and this 15th-century Venetian Old Fortress used to be the centerpiece of what they consider precious ground made up of a maze of narrow cobblestoned streets. The fortress is separated from the land proper by an artificial defensive moat.

 

Because of its two castles (new and old), Corfu has also become known as a Kastropolis or Castle City.
