Venetian Fortress of Parga

The Venetian-era fortress dominates the hill above the town harbor and offers a panoramic view of the bay, the island of Panagia, and the surrounding hills. It was built in the 14th century and was repeatedly restored by the Venetians over the following centuries. Within the walls, a church and parts of the original fortifications are preserved. A steep climb up stairs from the old town leads to the fortress, so comfortable footwear is recommended.
