New Fortress of Corfu
The New Fortress rises above Corfu’s old port and gives a second perspective on the town’s Venetian defenses. Its ramparts and passages show how the harbour and urban approaches were protected.
The New Fortress stands on Agios Markos hill and reveals how Corfu expanded its Venetian defences beyond the Old Fortress. The gate’s winged lion and the Bastion of the Seven Winds give concrete points to seek out. Interior access is seasonal, so it cannot anchor a winter itinerary.
What to look for
Follow the upper ramparts above the harbour district.
Useful to know
Check the official venue page for current access before climbing the fortress; wear sturdy shoes for the exposed ramparts.
