Large quantities of artifacts including frescoes, paintings, ancient utensils, clay and metal objects have been discovered at the Akrotiri Archaeological site of Santorini. In the medieval era Akrotiri used to be a military bastion or fortress of Santorini.
Once the Ottoman Turks captured Santorini, the impregnable Venetian Castle of Akrotiri was completely damaged by the Turks. Today all that remains are the vestiges and remnants of the castle.In fact upon close observation, one can still locate the towers of the castle.
One can also visit the old churches of Aghia Triada and Ypapanti tou Soteros that are located in close proximity to the Venetian Castle.
