The Old Fortress is basically a Venetian fortress in the old city. During the Byzantine time, the fortress used to contain the old town of Corfu. The fort was successful against three major Ottoman sieges – 1537, 1571 and 1716. Palaio Frourio – the beautiful building with columns that you can see from long distance – is also hosted on site, as well as a few other historical buildings. You will also be able to explore galleries, tunnels and bridges. If you are into James Bond films, you might remember this place from the For Your Eyes Only film, in which James Bond’s enemy’s Mercedes is pushed off a cliff.
