The Castle of Arta, Epirus, Greece

3D Model

One of the most impressive and well-preserved Castles of Greece is the Castle of Arta, which stands majestically on a low hill at the northeastern side of Arta, near the river Arachthos and it is a material evidence of the town’s medieval physiognomy. The location where it was built was not chosen randomly, since from antiquity, the Corinthian settlers who founded the ancient city of Amvrakia had erected its fortification on the foot of the same hill. Parts of the ancient defensive wall had been integrated in the medieval Castle’s structure and are preserved to this day both in its eastern and northern sectors.
