Description
The walls of the Palamedes Fortress with a view of Bourtzi Castle in the bay of Nafplio on the Peloponnes peninsular, Greece.
The fortress of Palamidi is a true architectural masterpiece. This fort was built during the Venetian occupation in the early 19th century and consists of eight bastions, each was self-contained, ensuring that if one bastion was breached the others could still be separately defended. The bastions were built one on top of the other and they all connected with one wall.
