Trikala Castle, Byzantine fortress in Trikala, Greece
The castle extends over three fortification levels on a hilltop, featuring four large defensive towers and polygonal exterior walls with multiple turrets.
Emperor Justinian I constructed the fortress in the 6th century on ancient Trikke ruins, with major renovations during the 14th-century Palaiologan period.
The second bailey contains an outdoor amphitheater from 1988 where theatrical productions and concerts take place throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the castle entrance on the west side through a semicircular stone archway, while the east side offers a café with stone steps.
The third bailey houses a preserved vaulted powder magazine and contains a reported secret tunnel connecting to a church in Kalambaka.
