Fortress of Santa Maura

A 14th-century Venetian fortress located on a peninsula at the entrance to the canal, it is one of the better-preserved fortresses on the Ionian Islands. The walls enclose a true village within the ramparts — churches, water cisterns, and old military barracks. Access is via a pedestrian bridge from the mainland side.
