Dominating St. Mark's Hill above Corfu Town's old port, the New Fortress was constructed by the Venetians between 1576 and 1645 following Ottoman sieges. The massive citadel features imposing stone bastions, vaulted underground tunnels, English-era barracks, and carved reliefs of the Lion of Saint Mark. Climbing to its upper battlements rewards visitors with 360-degree vistas over the old town, harbour, and Ionian Sea.
