Angelokastro, Byzantine castle in Paleokastritsa, Greece
The fortress stands on a steep rock formation rising 305 meters above sea level, with three sides protected by natural cliffs and stone walls.
The first written records of Angelokastro date to 1272 when Charles I of Anjou gained control through his representative Giordano di San Felice.
The castle contains a church dedicated to Archangel Michael, built within a natural cave formation, along with multiple anthropomorphic graves carved into stone.
The entrance fee for adults costs 3 euros, and visitors need to climb numerous steps from the parking area to reach the castle grounds.
This fortress formed a defensive triangle with Gardiki and Kassiopi castles, successfully protecting Corfu from multiple Ottoman sieges throughout its history.
