The Castro fortress is situated on a peninsula that extends into Lake Pamvotis and represents the historic core of Ioannina. The fortress dates from the Byzantine period, and during Ottoman rule it was expanded with mosques, hammams, and residences of local governors. Within the walls today stand the Ali Pasha Museum, historic buildings, and viewpoints overlooking the lake and surrounding mountains.
Entrance to the fortress itself is free, but the museums within the walls charge admission separately. It is open throughout the day.
