Kastri hill ,where a prehistoric settlement was found. North part (Apano Meria) of Syros island, Cyclades, Aegean sea, Greece. The history of settlement on Syros goes back at least 5,000 years, to the Early Bronze Age of the Cycladic civilization. This is when the hill-top settlement of Kastri (Syros) began. Archaeologists describe Early Cycladic III (ECIII) culture as Kastri culture. Kastri, dated by archaeologists to 2800-2300 BC, was one of the earliest settlements in Greece that were protected by stone walls with rounded bastions. Also the cemetery of Chalandriani is associated with Kastri. Inside the fortification, the houses shared party walls and were packed close together. It is estimates that the fortified town was home to up to 300 people. (Source: Wikipedia)
