Corfu Tower: The Kassiopi Tower of Corfu Greece, Ionian

 

 

Kassiopi Tower of CorfuCorfu Kassiopi Tower: The Tower of Kassiopi is placed on top of a hill to the north of the town, overlooking the harbour and giving nice views of the area. The tower was built to protect the town and its port from attacks of enemies and pirates invasions. It is dated back to the mid-12th century and has some Roman and Byzantine foundations.

Unfortunately, the tower was seriously damaged by the Ottomans during the Venetian ruling, in the 14th century, and also by the Venetians, who were said to have used the building material of this tower to reinforce the towers of Corfu town.
