Old Veneitan Fort
Description
When the Goths destroyed the original settlement on the island the locals retreated to the twin peaked small island off of Corfu. Over the centuries this became fortified more and more until today when the whole island is now just a massive fortification. Eventually superseded by the New fortress the old fortress still had its uses, and for a while was the headquarters for the British when they were controlling Corfu. Today you can explore a part of the fortification - though some of the buildings are in use by the University and others are in a dangerous state of repair and off limits. From the very top of the fort there are good views over the island
