Best Panorama at Corfu's Old Lighthouse

The Old Fortress of Corfu is a large fortification situated on a rocky piece of land in Corfu Town, Greece. Built mostly by the Venetians to protect the island, its high position gives it a great view of the surrounding sea and land. One of the most important structures on the fortress is its lighthouse, built in 1822 by the British. It's located on one of the highest points of the fort. Its main job was to guide ships safely into the harbor, especially at night or in rough seas. The lighthouse is a simple yet vital part of the fortress, having served sailors for many years. It's a reminder of the fort’s role in not just defense but also maritime navigation. From the top of the fortress, and especially near the lighthouse, you get a very wide view of the whole area. You can see the entire old town of Corfu below, with its maze of old buildings and red roofs. The sight also includes the vast Ionian Sea and the smaller islands nearby. #mediterranean
