St. Andrew's Castle, Fortified castle in Preveza, Greece
St. Andrew's Castle features high polygonal bastions and defensive walls constructed at precise angles for protection against artillery fire.
French engineer Frédéric François Guillaume de Vaudoncourt designed and oversaw the castle's construction in 1807 under Ali Pasha's administration.
The castle served as a critical military stronghold, influencing regional governance and maritime trade between the Ionian Sea and Gulf of Arta.
Modern modifications to the castle's structure continue as the Greek military maintains active use of the fortification complex.
The castle's rapid construction mobilized hundreds of Greek laborers who completed the entire fortification within a single year.
