Fortress of Eleutherai, Archaeological site at Oinoi, Municipality of Mandra-Eidyllia, Greece.
The Fortress of Eleutherai extends over 3.3 hectares on a hilltop, featuring walls measuring 860 meters in length and reaching heights of 6 meters.
Built between 370 and 360 BC, this fortress controlled the mountain pass between Attica and Boeotia, serving as a critical defense point.
The site marks the transfer location of the Dionysus cult to Athens, leading to the establishment of theatrical traditions in the city.
Seven square towers along the northern wall contain preservation details of the military architecture, including potential catapult placement positions.
The fortress maintains a double main gate facing west and two small gates on the north side, demonstrating advanced defensive engineering.
