Walking tour of the Old Fortress in Corfu, Greece 

The Old Fortress of Corfu is a Venetian fortress which initially contained the old town of Corfu that had emerged during Byzantine era. The fort successfully repulsed all three major Ottoman sieges: the great siege of 1537, the siege of 1571 and the second great siege of Corfu in 1716. The town of Corfu got its Western name from the twin peaks of the fortress meaning "Coryphe" in Greek.
