Nafplio Sightseeing-The Capital of Argolis

A magnificent Venetian fortress built in 1687 by the Venetian Morosini to serve as main defensive mainstay of Nafplio. Between 1711-1714 the last fortifications were implemented by Grimani.
On top of the structure the church of St. Andrew was built during the Venetian era. In 1833 and for 11 months, one of the eight bastions of the fort was used as a prison of Theodoros Kolokotronis, a hero of the revolution against Ottoman Empire. The imposing fortress of Palamidi rises 216 meters above the city of Nafplio. It is open to visitors and you can admire the fortifications and the spectacular views offered. You can access the fort by car or if you feel adventurous by climbing the famous 999 steps
