Kavala Castle, Byzantine fortress in Kavala, Greece
The castle contains a central circular tower, multiple defensive walls, and square towers constructed with local granite stone, marble, and bricks.
Ottoman forces rebuilt the fortress in 1425 after destroying the original Byzantine structure in 1391, incorporating elements from the previous construction.
The castle grounds include an open-air theatre that presents concerts and theatrical performances throughout summer months within ancient stone walls.
Visitors enter through the main gate, which leads to separate internal and external enclosures connected by a transverse wall system.
The fortress walls rise 64 meters on the northern cliffs, integrating the city water supply system through advanced medieval engineering methods.
