the New Fortress of Corfu was built between 1576 and 1645 and many buildings were demolished in order to have enough material to build the fortress
The massive New Fortress of Corfu was built between 1576 and was partially destroyed during the Second World War but the new fortress is still lovely with its old paved access road and its gate with the ancient lions that are the Venetian symbols. The new fortress is placed just above the old port and it’s full of underground tunnels that run till the old fortress and the old Corfu town. The fortress deserves to be visited just for the marvellous view you can have from its top. Recently the fortress has been renovated
