Angelokastro is a historical fortress located in the picturesque village of Paleokastritsa, nestled on the western coast of the Greek island of Corfu. The fortress is perched atop a rocky hill, offering stunning panoramic views of the Ionian Sea and the surrounding landscape. The fortress dates back to the Byzantine era and was later fortified by the Venetians in the 14th century. The name "Angelokastro" translates to "Castle of Angels," and it is believed that the fortress was named after the angels who were said to have protected it during a siege in the 13th century.
The fortress is surrounded by thick stone walls and features a series of towers and battlements that were used for defense. Visitors can explore the ruins of the fortress, which include the remains of a chapel, a cistern, and a large gatehouse. The interior of the fortress is largely open, allowing visitors to wander freely and take in the stunning views from various vantage points.
The climb to the top of the hill can be steep and challenging, but the effort is well worth it for the breathtaking views and the opportunity to explore this fascinating piece of history. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water, as there are no facilities on site. Angelokastro is a must-see attraction for history buffs and anyone looking to experience the rich cultural heritage of Corfu.
