The Old Fortress of Corfu (Venetian: Fortezza Vecchia) is built on a rocky peninsula with two characteristic hills (top) and is the eastern end of the city. The location of the peninsula lies to the east of the ancient city of "Corcyra", between the Gulf of Corfu to the north and the Gulf of Garitsa to the south. This location was an ideal choice as it allowed easy access to the maritime network and full control of the neighboring coasts, while high fortifications in combination with the artificial moat made it impossible for any raider to access.

It is of Byzantine construction of the 8th century AD and enclosed almost the entire then small medieval town that was located within this natural ledge of land. This rock was then fortified to protect the city from the numerous raids of the Middle Ages Century. How the Venetians strengthened the defense of the fortress, the opening of Contra Fossa, the buildings inside the fortress and the bastions, the Venetian prison that was expanded by the British

It is very well preserved and offers fantastic views to the visitors! Near there is the bay of Garitsa. Some say that Odysseus himself landed here, though others dispute whether Corfu is the same as the island of Phaeacs and the last stop of Odysseus before his final destination at Ithaca.
