Fortress Fortezza

Fortezza of Rethymno
Greece, Rethymno
The fortress of Fortezza is located in the center of the old town on the Paliokastro hill. It was built in the 16th century by the Venetians. In 1646, the fortress was captured by the Turks, who rebuilt the Cathedral of St. Nicholas located on its territory into the mosque of Ibrahim Khan. Currently, the restored fortress receives many tourists, and musical concerts are held in the mosque building.

On the territory, in addition to the remains of the fortress itself, there are small expositions of modern art in the reconstructed buildings. Excellent views from the walls of the fortress to the city and the sea. I recommend comfortable shoes, walk a lot and not on the paths! I recommend watching!
