The Castle of Zakynthos

Venetian Castle of Zakynthos

The Castle of Zakynthos is a historic landmark located in the capital of the island, the town of Zakynthos. Although it is now in a ruined state, it is part of the island’s rich history.

The castle was built around the 17th century by the Venetians as a protective barrier against pirate raids and enemies. Initially, it was a walled fortress built on the hill above the town, but it was heavily damaged by the powerful earthquake of 1953.

Despite many parts of the castle having collapsed, visitors can still explore the area and enjoy the stunning views over the town of Zakynthos and the Ionian Sea.

The Castle of Zakynthos is an important part of the island’s history and cultural heritage and is worth visiting if you are in the area.
