Under the supervision of the Italian architect Francesco Vitelli, 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 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. Though these are off limits to the public nowadays. Spectacular views of Corfu old Town can be viewed from the top.

The massive New Fortress was built in 1577 by the Venetians to protect the city against the Turks. Wander through the empty stone halls and passages and, best of all, climb to the top for amazing views over the terracotta rooftops of the old town and out to sea.

Quite apart from their particular importance in the development of the town, the defense works, the supreme examples of which are the Old and New Fortresses, are in themselves notable examples of the military defensive art and building techniques of their time (from the 15th to the 18th c.). Built by eminent architects and engineers, they are amongst the finest examples of defensive complexes built in the Mediterranean, their effectiveness well demonstrated by the many occasions on which they withstood Turkish attack. To construct them, human ingenuity was exploited to its maximum through art and science, in an organized endeavour on the part of the “mighty and beautiful” to predominate ove

The neo frourio, also known as New Fortress is an old military complex loaded with interesting tunnels, celars and dungeons. It provides exellent views of the Old town and the bay. Look out for the two lions of st. Mark and the Venetians inscriptions on the bastion walls above.
